Everything you need in a single kit:
- No need for additional optics or optical fibers, Argus comes complete with integrated foreoptics in a single unit.
- The complete kit is supplied with a carry case and contains all the components needed to operate the instrument and display and record spectral data out of the box.
- Award winning heritage space technology supplied as a complete kit including ground test interface and display laptop that works right out of the box.
- InGaAs detector 1000 nm -1700 nm infrared range, 6 nm spectral resolution.
- Only 45x50x80 mm in dimension.
- Integrated foreoptics with no moving parts.
- 15 mm aperture with 0.15o field of view.
- Peltier-effect cooler for enhanced noise performance.
- Programmable operating parameters with easy to use commands including integration time and co-adding settings.
- Standard serial interface with simple communications format for easy systems integration.
- Low mass (less than 230 g) and low power. Ruggedized for spaceflight and harsh environments.
- Demonstrated five-year in-orbit heritage.
- Available off the shelf subject to export license approval (typically requires two weeks after receipt of end use statement).
- Optional detectors extend range to 2500 nm.
