NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is the first spacecraft to “touch the sun”. The probe has successfully flown through the sun’s corona, or upper atmosphere. It is carrying the CMOS imagers developed by Israel’s TowerJazz, used to capture high-resolution images of … Continue reading →

I reported previously (see here) on the CMOS image sensor from Israel’s TowerJazz aboard the NASA Parker Solar Probe. The high-resolution images of the Sun’s corona taken during the first two fly-pasts have exceeded all expectations. A third encounter with … Continue reading →

I reported previously (25th Nov) about the image sensor of Israel’s TowerJazz onboard the NASA Parker Solar Probe spacecraft. NASA has now received the first images of the corona taken by the probe – the closest any spacecraft has orbited … Continue reading →

A breakthrough image sensor developed by Israel’s TowerJazz is onboard the NASA Parker Solar Probe spacecraft. The CMOS (complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor) sensor is capturing high-resolution images of the sun’s atmosphere, including coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar wind. http://nocamels.com/2018/11/israeli-tech-nasa-photos-sun/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_z19KPvV1w https://towerjazz.com/2018/10/02/100218/ … Continue reading →
