Caeleste strengthens the management team
Caeleste is strengthening its business development team by hiring Jeroen Hoet as new Chief Business Development Officer, leading Caeleste’s marketing and sales department. Based in Belgium, Jeroen is well known in the semiconductor industry and has gained deep knowledge on
Caeleste patents a true charge domain binning method
Thereby removing the second last (*) stronghold of CCD as compared to CMOS. The purpose of binning is to collect the photo charges of a small kernel of pixels into a single charge packet, reading it out in a single
The Mars Webcam Interview: development, challenges and unique features of a camera in space
Caeleste and Advacam announced their collaboration on the development of a Hybrid Visible CMOS image sensor for future space and science missions.
The combination of Advacam’s advanced capabilities in hybridization of Silicon on Silicon and Caeleste’s CMOS image sensor design know-how for space applications allows ESA to start the project AO/1-9801/19/NL/AR “Development of a Hybrid Visible Image Sensor”. Hybrid image sensor technology
