Will gradually increase over time, reaching 27 million km by the end of The distance between the Earth and the spacecraft At closest target approach, NEA Scout will be Transmission power, which is a major challenge for science-drivenĬubeSat missions. Physically constrained by the size of their antenna and available Interplanetary CubeSats, such as NEA Scout, are additionally The temporal median has theĪdded benefit of removing transient imaging artifacts, such as cosmic ThisĬalibration consists of a dark current subtraction, flat fieldĪdjustment and bad pixel mask application. Prior to alignment, each image undergoes a first order imageĬalibration, onboard, to improve the results of the alignment. This solution fits within the memory constrained onboardĬontext. We filter the aligned images using a temporal The spacecraft aligns and combines a stack of rapidlyĪcquired images, resulting in a single image with a higher SNR than itsĬonstituent images. Onboard image processing overcomes thisĬhallenge. Jitter inherent in a small platform, long exposure imaging is lessįeasible for NEA Scout.
