NASA/GSFC has a requirement for a medium format aerial camera. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the item from Phase One Industrial. The camera will be required to demonstrate airborne heritage, and meet stringent requirements listed below for compatibility with G-LiHT and to meet science measurement requirements: • Size: 4 × 4 × 8" to fit within existing G-LiHT housing • Weight: ≤3 lbs to have minimal affect the weight & balance of airborne platform • Power supply: ≤10 W and 12 or 28 VDC to be compatible with power supply of general aviation aircraft and G-LiHT electrical system. • For maximum image quality operating in a fast moving aircraft and dawn to dusk conditions, we require a low distortion, high performance Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) lens (focal length ~50 mm, f/4) and spare that is compatible with the camera and software. To our knowledge, Phase One is the only company that can provide an aerial camera that matches the size, weight and power requirements for integration with G-LiHT, NASA's multi-sensor airborne imaging system.
