Spacecraft In The Shot (SITS) is a breakthrough cross-disciplinary initiative that stands at the intersection of advanced technology and strategic storytelling. It aims to enhance humanity’s connection to robotic space exploration by capturing high-definition footage of heroic spacecraft along their journey through deep space. The SITS Imaging Instrument, a self-contained, highly autonomous instrument package can be included in any typical mission payload. The Instrument stores and deploys SITS imagers, or camera-carrying nanosats. As a mission approaches a key milestone in the trajectory, the SITS Instrument deploys one or more imagers that fly pre-programmed, autonomous trajectories around the host spacecraft. After the footage has been collected and downlinked to the host, the Imagers get decommissioned and left behind as the host spacecraft continues into the depths of space until the next photo opportunity.
