Waterloo: Connected
Enterprising partners
Looking like a big metal bug with one inquisitive eye, the NASA Mars Rover Spirit rolls across a dusty red desert under a pink sky. A Pancam on top of Spirit’s mast swivels this way and that, snapping spectacular, finely detailed pictures of the Martian landscape. Inside the camera, critical to the quality of those photos, is an image sensor called a charged coupled device (CCD). The CCDs in the Pancam and in Spirit’s other eight cameras were fabricated by DALSA Corp.
