Internally and Externally mounted HD cameras and transmitters for sub-orbital spacecraft. Crews experienced with working in zero gravity
Let us document your next launch. Especially during the testing phases, you desire as much visual data as possible to evaluate
vehicle design and performance. The higher the quality of these images, the more useful this data is.
We can provide:
- Multiple cameras in cockpit and cabin to relay back physiological condition of crew as well as record of flight.
- Multiple cameras attached to external surface of vehicle for situational awareness of vehicle components.
- Multiple cameras attached to pressure or space suits to document EVA activities.
- Multiple long lens ground based tracking cameras to capture launch and ascent of vehicle to extremely high altitudes.
-
Airborne camera platforms
up to 60,000 feet to capture vehicle ascent or descent.
- Integrated systems to route these images to a central location suchas Mission Control or an airborne command center.
- Airborne microwave relay systems.
- Crews with zero gravity experience

JLAIR
Joint Launch vehicle and Aircraft Imaging in Realtime
The JLAIR Optical Tracking Systems offer our clients capabilities not previously available to civilians or Production Companies. Each carries a variety of high-power zoom lenses and large telescopes attached to 8000 lb motorized pedestals, which were previously used to track Apollo and Space Shuttle launches. The imagers used with the tracking system include HD video, High Speed 4K, Shortwave Infrared, and Digital Still cameras. The system can easily be set up for 35mm motion picture cameras including the Arri 435 or 65 and 70mm cameras including IMAX. The JLAIR control room allows technicians to select the best images available, and transmit them in real-time to Mission Control and/or broadcast viewers. The trackers are well suited for tracking high performance aircraft as well as missile and manned launch vehicles.
JLAIR 1 is the first fully integrated tracking system on one vehicle chassis that includes >1000 pound optics payload, air conditioned control room, on board generator for tracker and sub-systems, and Encoding and Satellite transmission of HD video. Unlike traditional Optical Trackers, which are trailer mounted, towed to location and require a towed generator and separate control room; JLAIR 1 travels quickly via highways and is easily deployed anywhere needed in hours.
JLAIR 2 is a trailer mounted Optical Tracker that offers 360 degree viewing capability, can be located in small spaces, and gives clients a more affordable alternative to simple shoots or missions that don’t require sophisticated multi channel recording or video transmission.
Primary Optical Equipment includes:
- 160” focal length – 16” aperture f/10 – SCT
- 154” focal length – 14” aperture f/11 – SCT
- 80” focal length – 10” aperture f/8 – Ritchey Chretien
- 42x 27mm – 1140mm (45”) HD acquisition Zoom Lens
Primary Imaging Equipment includes:
- Panasonic HPX-500 HD P2 camera (up to 60fps)
