Developing custom space imagers for space exploration - SRI

David Keller, a Director of the Center for Advanced Imaging, strives to advance our knowledge and deliver early warnings from satellites monitoring the sun, weather, planets, and stars.

Keller and his team at the Center for Advanced Imaging build custom sensor imagers that monitor the weather throughout the day and night, earth-orbiting satellites that look for coronal mass ejections from the sun, sensors that explore planets and the solar system to determine how stars evolve, and more.

Working with organizations, universities, and governments, SRI designs and fabricates custom sensors that can withstand the rigors of space including extreme temperature, radiation, pressure, and other factors. These sensors are packaged within cameras and other devices to meet application needs.
