Hi Guys, Been asked by the student that is running some tests on the very simple camera that we are installing on KiwiSAT, what the cost would be of a commercial satellite surveillance camera. He has not found any prices despite web searching - and I haven't done much better! He wants to contrast the cost of our simple unit to a proper industrial one in a .ppt presentation on his findings. Can someone out there in the business give us an idea of the range from the simplest to the most sophisticated? (Has to be mega bucks!) ( Cost of ours ?- about $100! But flown successfully and reliably (for our purpose) on several Cubesats!!!) Thanks Fred Kennedy ZL1BYP KiwiSAT Project Leader
