        ICPU combines sensor control and configuration functions with real-time image acquisition and a high-speed data interface to the spacecraft OBC. The focal plane is connected to the ICPU electronics via a flex PCB, providing both power distribution and high-speed data transmission. Camera configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory to ensure retention across power cycles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
