The Shuttle closed-circuit TV system incorporates a mix of monochrome TV cameras (in the payload bay for operations support purposes) and color cameras (in the crew cabin for crew activity monitoring purposes). These cameras currently employ glass enclosed, vacuum processed image sensors. A camera that uses a solid-state image sensor offers many extremely attractive advantages. This paper presents the current status of development of solid-state television cameras - monochrome and NTSC color - for use in various aspects of the Space Shuttle program. Results of in depth design and testing programs are discussed as well as the plans for employing these cameras in the Shuttle program.
