Designing & Constructing
a Professional Digital Moon Camera for a SPACE1 Lunar Landing
by Humanoido
Rocket: Electrodynamic Spacecraft
Drive: Electromag Engine
Mission: Moon Landing
Action: Develop a Super Moon Mission Camera
Overview: Humanoido is building a precision Moon camera to take down to the Moon’s surface. First Step: Purchasing digital camera design optics for the Moon Camera construction
Building a Moon Camera
Optics $18,289
Optics $18,289
The first head step, after the design, is the multiple Optics train purchase. This is a hand grenade size package for disassembly - Product style: Hyperion dual 1.25/2 barrel mode, Clickstop Mark IV Zoom ultra precision 7 lenses set element continuous lensing optics for attenuating 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 mm parfocal with M54, FOV 58-60 deg. w/12-15 mm eye relief w/Hyperion phantom group multi-coatings, w/internal zoom actuators, greaseless mech for operation under harsh space and lunar conditions, lens grouping actuator sealed, M43 threading, adaptable to afocal, adapter ring 2”x24 tpi threading. Direct attach removable front barrel. For developing AFOCAL interface to electronic CCD element array. $289 Ultra Optics Lenses, the optics set includes the above, but does not include the main portions of the spacecraft rocket window and optics. These parts add another $18,000.
Optical Reducing Array $1,200
As the rocket spacecraft approaches closer and closer to the lunar surface, the optical config needs to reduce the massive encompassing view. This is accomplished with the Optical Reducing Array activating within the optical train at the required time.
Precision Machined Adapter Set $5,500
The adapter set is precision machined from metal to interface to the camera and mounting and includes multiple elements.
CCD Charge Coupled Device Array $8,249
This is the image CCD sensing chip. The spectral sensitivity must match the lunar surface ambient. The chip is color capable.
Electronics Interface Board $5,999
This board connects the camera to the computer.
Cable sets & E-couplers $424
Cables connect the camera to the computer, monitors, etc.
Wavelength Moon Filter Optics Set $2,289.99
Special lunar wavelength filters are needed for different lunar specifics.
Camera Housing $1,800
The camera housing includes the CCD chip, the mounting front plate, the holder of the optics, gimbals etc.
High Speed Rocket Computer & LED Monitor $6,999
The computer must be very fast to keep up and the monitor must be ultra high resolution and all very light weight for a Moon trip.
Misc. Interfacing $8,000
Interfacing is multiple and makes the connection of all devices as needed.
Moon Camera Total $58,749.99
