Enabling Technologies for Deep Space Imaging

Abstract: From the beginning of the Space Age, imagery, particularly motion imagery, has been a part of crewed and un-crewed missions. As technologies have evolved the imagery gets better, more compelling, and more useful for operations and monitoring of systems, crew, and spacecraft. As we look forward now to crewed missions beyond low-Earth orbit, such as the Lunar Orbiting Platform-Gateway being considered as a pre-cursor to future crewed Mars missions, there are both opportunities and challenges in…
