Ecliptic provides systems for accessing and experiencing space and other extreme environments.

If you're seeking improved situational awareness on your rocket or spacecraft, you can count on our renowned RocketCamTM onboard imaging systems: the world's leading brand. Whether in Earth orbit, at the Moon or Mars or almost anywhere in between, we'll get your picture.

But we don't stop here.

Ecliptic also provides a variety of small, cost-effective systems for accessing and experiencing other extreme environments: air, land and sea.

RocketCamTM: Cost-effective situational awareness, from just about anywhere

To understand and appreciate what your remote, complex system is doing and experiencing in extreme environments, you don't need a high-end, expensive science-quality imaging system. Ecliptic's RocketCam systems provide engineering and PR-quality situational awareness within a small, rugged, cost-effective package.

Depending on the nature of the host remote platform and desired application, our RocketCamTM Analog Video System (AVS) content can be returned live or recorded on board for delayed viewing by the end user. Our RocketCamTM Digital Video System (DVS) utilizes advances in video compression and channel coding to go beyond the AVS and provide enhanced sensor suites, improved bandwidth fidelity and data integrity, and operational flexibility.

Preferred provider

Already dominant in the launch arena, our RocketCamTM solutions are first-to-market on Earth-orbiting spacecraft. And we are a credible, growing supplier in the air, land and sea arenas. With a broad client base comprising 1/3 commercial customers, 1/3 NASA and 1/3 DoD, we can meet your needs and help solve your problems.

Our place in space

Whether on government-led or commercially sponsored projects, future Ecliptic systems — more than just imaging systems — will enable improved access to near-Earth space and dramatic views from nearby solar system destinations such as the Moon and Mars.

When the content counts

If you require unique imagery and video content from a remote platform for your documentary, corporate advertising campaign, edutainment project or adventure clients, Ecliptic can handle the details and produce results.

Test Equipment: For essential support

Ecliptic also produces various types of electrical test equipment to support our clients' needs.

Every complex electromechanical system needs one or more sets of test equipment to support initial buildup and checkout, interface checks with other subsystems and systems, end-to-end system testing and sometimes field or mission operations.

For these purposes and more, Ecliptic provides equipment having architectures and design features common with digital avionics or RF/telecom equipment, or both. For each project, our systems-oriented staff ensures that each test-equipment solution matches well with the overall system design and desired suite of operational scenarios.
