EventSat’s orbital test of event cameras
A TUM CubeSat mission plans to test event cameras for observing stars, satellites, and space debris from low Earth orbit, with onboard data processing.
- For
- Spacecraft engineering students and event-camera researchers
- Worth noticing
- Minimum success is one recording showing a catalogued star; full detection success targets 90% correct labels checked against known orbits.
Field notes
The page explains that each event-camera pixel reports a brightness change with its position, polarity, and microsecond timestamp. The mission plans to tag at least two hours of recordings with spacecraft attitude and camera settings, then compare onboard star-and-satellite labels against known orbits. It also documents a student team taking a satellite through design, integration, testing, operations, and end of life; the launch remains targeted for 2027.
