Crystal Space: Pioneering Precision Images with Cutting-Edge Technologies

Crystal Space, Founded in March 2024, is an Estonian space technology company specializing in high-performance camera systems for satellites, landers and rovers. With a mission to deliver crystal-clear vision in the harshest environments, the company has rapidly become a trusted partner for space agencies and commercial missions alike. Crystal Space’s expertise spans space-grade imaging, CubeSat subsystems, and end-to-end launch and testing services, making it a one-stop solution for next-generation space exploration.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Space Camera Systems: Mono and stereo cameras for monitoring, navigation, and scientific imaging.

Monitoring Camera “Suupistri” CS-152: Crystalspace camera “Suupistri” brings the new level of capabilities to space – ideal for monitoring & computer vision applications. It is the smallest and the most advanced satellite monitoring camera on the market. Suupistri enables robotic & docking missions to get 720p quality feed at 60 fps.


Monitoring Camera “Kodas” CS-151: Crystalspace Satellite Monitoring Camera System “Kodas” which belongs to Crystalspace micro camera systems family is going to the Moon with SAMPLR in Stereo cameras configuration. Crystalspace Monitoring Camera system has flight heritage and has proven itself as a reliable monitoring camera capable of 720p quality feed at 7fps.


CubeSat Camera Cam1U “Kikas” CS-101: Crystalspace micro camera family is the smallest and the most advanced series of satellite camera systems on the market. It suits well for densely packed satellites starting from CubeSats (for taking pictures of the Earth) to large satellites (monitoring cameras). Under 600 meters per pixel ground resolution is achieved from low Earth orbit (600 km) using the basic version of optics (44 x 34 degree field of view) and sensor capable of 720p quality feed at 7fps.


Illumination Module: “Tulivagla” CS-301: Crystalspace Illumination Module “Tulivagla” (CS-301) is designed for spacecrafts – from satellites to landers and rovers. It is perfect for complementing camera systems to still be able to see in no-to-low light conditions. The Tulivagla module is developed in cooperation with ESA.


Vacuum Chamber Monitoring: Immersible cameras for ultra-high vacuum environments, ideal for lab simulations and hardware validation. Crystalspace Vacuum Chamber Camera (VCC) CS-201 is designed for monitoring vacuum chamber processes from the inside. The fully immersible VCC is based on the nanosatellite camera systems and thus inherits space rigidness. The VCC is developed in cooperation with ESA.


CubeSat Launch & Testing: Full-service launch coordination from the ISS, including safety reviews and environmental exposure testing.


Crystal Space is redefining the space-based imagery systems with the cutting-edge imaging systems, robust CubeSat support and strategic partnerships, the company is poised to play a central role in the future of space exploration. In mapping the Moon or monitoring robotic arms on Mars, Crystal Space delivers the clarity and reliability that space demands.
