Why Tibidabo is Your Space Expert

Our Space Capabilities

Full Spectrum Imaging

With cameras and detectors operating across the full spectrum—from SWIR through X-rays to neutral and charged particles—Tibidabo Scientific Industries offers optimised solutions tailored to specific wavelength ranges. This approach ensures that the most appropriate detector is selected for each application, delivering optimal performance and measurement accuracy.

Detection Solutions

Our detectors include Lithium 6 based neutron scintillators, the gold standard for space-based detection of thermal neutrons helping aid the search for water and other critical planetary resources, future lunar and planetary dust detectors, and ultrafast photodetectors for LIDAR.

Imaging Solutions

Tibidabo Scientific Industries provides one of the widest ranges of space-based imaging solutions, including CCDs, EMCCDs, sCMOS, intensified cameras, and photon-counting detectors. These solutions have proven their reliability and endurance in the harsh environment of space, with mission lifetimes exceeding 20 years.

Superior Sensitivity

Tibidabo Scientific Industries’ cameras and detectors deliver exceptional sensitivity through high quantum efficiency combined with ultra-low background and noise. This includes solar-blind photodetectors with outstanding rejection of solar radiation, enabling market-leading far-UV signal-to-noise performance, as well as sCMOS cameras offering best-in-class read noise of less than 0.5 electrons.

Spectroscopy Solutions

Tibidabo Scientific Industries offers a range of technologies and formats purpose-built for spectroscopy applications. These include cameras with high-aspect-ratio sensors, on-chip binning options such as full vertical binning, and intensified cameras and detectors designed for time-resolved photon counting.

Radiation Tolerance

We offer solutions for all radiation environments, from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to the most extreme Jovian conditions. Our portfolio includes custom-designed cameras utilising radiation-hardened CCDs, as well as purpose-built LIDAR detectors engineered to withstand the intense radiation expected during missions such as Europa Lander
