  • Deployable Image Sensor
    Publication number: 20100066809
    Abstract: A deployable image sensor includes a detector operable to generate electronic data in accordance with electromagnetic energy incident thereon, optics operable to direct the electromagnetic energy toward the detector, and electronics in electrical communication with the detector, the electronics operable to transmit the electronic data. A structure supports the detector, the optics, and the electronics. A shell surrounds at least a part of the structure, the shell and the structure defining a space therebetween such that the structure is reorientable within the shell. The deployable image sensor may include a battery array that may be charged using a charging station. A base station may be used with the deployable image sensor.
