Teledyne Space Imaging is pleased to announce that it is collaborating with SATLANTIS to develop a commercial space Front-end Electronics (FEE) for the CIS125 TDI detector.
The two companies celebrated their partnership agreement at this week’s Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen, Germany.
Teledyne Space Imaging has a long heritage of developing space qualified imaging sensors, focal plane arrays and instrument systems for the world's foremost space agencies. Since its first launch in 1986, it has partnered with leaders, including NASA, ESA, JAXA, and KARI, collaborating with national research institutions and commercial organisations on over 250 space projects.
SATLANTIS is a top-tier space technology company, specialising in high-resolution Earth observation and universe exploration. Leveraging advanced optical systems, deep expertise in space imaging and cutting-edge electronics, SATLANTIS offers end-to-end satellite solutions within compact, agile platforms. These intelligent, autonomous missions empower customers with exclusive, proprietary data, setting new standards in space technology and data acquisition.

Daniel Waller, VP & GM of Teledyne Space Imaging said: “This collaboration will bring the benefits of a TDI high-reliability detector to the commercial space sector coupled with proven front-end electronics from SATLANTIS.”
Juan Tomas Hernani, CEO of SATLANTIS Group, stated that: “This partnership with Teledyne proves that very high-resolution missions encompass a large digital challenge. Today Image Digital Processing is new to space. Reading out pixels at a very high speed (hundreds of images per second), self-calibrating darks and flats via pixels, being selective at image areas, integrating the applications intimately with the detector capabilities, is the final goal of this leading partnership”.
Daniel Waller, added: “This partnership recognises the synergies we can achieve between Teledyne’s long heritage of detector innovation and the agile design capabilities of SATLANTIS, which will enable us to meet our customer demands for high quality products with commercial lead times.”

SATLANTIS
SATLANTIS is a leading space technology company providing innovative solutions for Earth observation and Universe exploration, built around their high and very high-resolution optical payloads for small satellites, the integrated Standard Imager for Microsatellites, iSIM. SATLANTIS' EO solutions offer comprehensive and simultaneous coverage across PAN, RGB, NIR, and SWIR spectral ranges, plus TIR capabilities, alongside video and polarimetry. This data blend ensures high terrestrial precision and (very) high resolution. The company portfolio includes innovative features like simultaneous VNIR and SWIR spectral capture and agility to continuously acquire imagery of non-linear ground structures. SATLANTIS’ full satellite solutions address challenges in various sectors: environment (detection of methane emissions), security (coastal, maritime and borders surveillance), energy infrastructures (monitoring of plants and pipelines), among others, via an offering encompassing electronics, opto-mechanics, image processing, and services, fully customizable to the users’ needs. SATLANTIS' technology has been successfully demonstrated in space through six missions, achieving a remarkable 100% success rate, with two more expected to be launched before 2025.
SATLANTIS is headquartered in Spain, within the University Science Park of Leioa-Bilbao; in the USA, it is located in the Innovation Hub of Gainesville (Florid), a sister company, SuperSharp, based in Cambridge (UK), specialized in thermal infrared payloads for Earth observation via satellites; and an office in Bidart, France, focused on image processing.
