Land Survey Camera
Virtual consumption - 200 mA

The camera is a useful load for surveying the Earth from space, for which in our case the spacecraft was designed. In reality in addition to cameras for surveying the Earth there is a huge range of various payloads for space vehicles - scientific, educational, military and technological.

In experiments with the construction set, the camera will be a useful load of spacecraft and the transfer of high-quality photographs of a given “Earth” surface segment - the target task of the “launch.” The camera has 10 memory sectors for taken photos, which are filled in with the function:

int32_t take_photo(uint16_t num)

After filling in the sector the photo remains in it until it is overwritten with the new photo. Also at any time, photo can be transmitted to Earth via a high-speed radio channel using the function

int32_t transmit_photo(uint16_t num) //Changed in version 1.0

Important notes
The camera cable should be as short as possible (no longer than 40cm). There should not be pieces of unused cable after installing the connectors.

You can connect the camera only directly to the camera connector on the central computer.
