SODERN has been selected by CNES for the design and the manufacturing of TARANIS Micro-Cameras. TARANIS is a CNES mission aiming to characterize magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere coupling via transient luminous events, such as sprites, lightnings, ... Micro-Cameras is an optical instrument containing two registered cameras for comparing simultaneous observations of these phenomena in two different narrow spectral bands. Together with tight optical specifications, a major constraint of this project is the limited volume and mass (less than 1.2 kg) for compatibility with the Myriad platform.
