“In locating survivors from a high altitude, the tCam-mini’s capabilities were outstanding in terms of background distinction, refresh rate, and telemetry distance.” Shoutout to Aarit Dixit, 4th place winner of the Engineering Technology Category International Science and Engineering Fair (@society4science) . A student of Orlando Science High School, Dixit utilized the tCam-Mini and FLIR Lepton 3.5 for his project: R.A.M.P.A.T (Rapid, Affordable, Modular, Printed, Aerial Tiltrotor), a VTOL drone for emergency response teams to use.

projectpromeon.es/ Thermal Mapping from Space with Project Promeon We're happy to sponsor an @esa CanSat entry, Project Promeon. Project Promeon uses infrared technology aboard a CanSat platform to detect thermal anomalies from high altitude. Their mission focuses on the early detection of forest fires through innovative thermal imaging and real-time data transmission using our PureThermal Mini.

groupgets.com/lepton-xds 👀 Coming soon! The ITAR‑free Lepton® XDS combines a factory‑aligned radiometric 160 × 120 Lepton 3.5 thermal camera with a 5 MP visible camera in an easy‑to‑integrate module featuring onboard Prism™ ISP image‑signal‑processing software. For the first time, Lepton XDS also supports saving images in advanced radiometric JPEG (RJPG) format, ensuring seamless compatibility with the broader software ecosystem, including FLIR Thermal Studio for post‑processing and report generation. Join the list to "Be Notified" when we get it in stock!

projectpromeon.es/ @ProjectPromeon has two missions: to measure environmental parameters during descent and transmit them in real time to the ground & and to create a thermal map of the terrain using an infrared sensor to detect temperature variations and possible fires. The team is utilizing a FLIR Lepton 3.1R sensor, and will integrate a PureThermal Mini USB interface board. Project Promeon is a CanSat® initiative of the @esa that invites students from across Europe to design, build, and launch a mini-satellite the size of a soda can. The main motivation behind Project Promeon is to explore the scientific value of thermal terrain observation from a small airborne platform. Through this project, it will collect and analyze data that helps better understand how heat is distributed across the Earth’s surface and how it changes during the CanSat’s descent.

In four weeks, Teledyne FLIR OEM will reset the industry standard and unveil a new LWIR camera module built for integrators who refuse to compromise on performance, size, or manufacturability. Tune into our YouTube channel on June 8th to see the unveiling bit.ly/49siqTz
