Sensor Architecture

The CFI imager collects images up to 1024 pixels square. The following figure shows a block diagram of the optical path, the major subsystems, and the computer. The Data Processing Unit (DPU) controls the one-time deployable cover, the cube mirror, and the filter wheel and orchestrates image collection and transmission to the spacecraft computer.
