NASA/GSFC has a requirement for three NanoCam C1U-564 camera payloads for CubeSat platforms.
NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from GomSpace ApS only. Other payloads do not provide the complete plug-and-play capability that the NanoCam C1U provides. These systems also do not offer a software library for using the systems, therefore, we would require substantial software development a capability that our team does not have.
