Abstract
This thesis details the design, development, and verification of an imaging system for the TWIN-SAT satellite mission, currently being developed at TU-Delft. The mission incorporates two 3P PocketQube platforms in a connected configuration, with the imaging system tasked with capturing a sequence of images documenting their separation, serving both engineering analysis and outreach objectives. The project encompasses the entire system lifecycle—from conceptualization and design to development and verification. It builds upon lessons learned from previous missions, aiming to enhance acquisition and data handling capabilities within the limitations imposed by the PocketQube format. The initial phase involved a comprehensive analysis of the spacecrafts' separation dynamics, optimizing the imaging system's performance.
This phase led to the selection of an appropriate COTS CMOS sensor and optics
