KEYNOTE—Image sensors - Journey on Mars
ABSTRACT
In the last 30 years, NASA has sent several mission to Mars, either orbiting or landing on the red planet. Main goal of those mission is to determine if there was ever the presence of liquid water on Mars and if it could have hosted some form of life. Presentation will describe the image sensors content of the Mars rovers, their characteristics, and how Teledyne sensors fabs managed to achieve the stringent NASA quality and reliability requirement.
