EnVisS

As a fallout of the panoramic lens design we have been selected to design and realize the optical head of the ESA selected F-Class mission Comet Interceptor's Entire Visible Sky Camera (EnVisS).



The main aim of the mission is the study of a dynamically new comet, or an interstellar object, entering the inner solar system.


The EnVisS camera is designed to capture the entire sky in some visible wavelength bands while the spacecraft passes through the comet's tail environment.

EnVisS optical head is composed of a fisheye lens with a field of view of 180° x 40° coupled with an imaging detector equipped with both band-pass and polarimetric filters.
