Redefining the 'Rugged' Video Camera

A real-world story of NASA technology finding a life beyond the mission.

About this technology

Overview

A video camera rugged enough to survive the first Space Launch System rocket launch and function in the extreme conditions of space is tough enough for harsh Earth environments. A license and expertise from Marshall Space Flight Center helped Boca Raton, Florida-based Imperx Inc. develop a camera with a built-in heater and light source.
