DAVIS240 launches on International Space Station

The Sensors group Davis240 launched 21 Dec. 2021 as part of the ISS resupply payload in the Falcon Neuro Project. It is the 2nd space mission which carries Sensors Group ICs (see post from last year for the first launch as part of Australian cube sats). Falcon Neuro is a collaboration between the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems (ICNS) at Western Sydney University (WSU), and the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). The DAVIS240 GPGA camera was designed by Paras Karhi from WSU; check out this linkedin post.

Even through the press release from WSU does not credit us, this is our classic DAVIS240 as reported in the JSSC article that has been sold through inilabs and inivation for quite a while.
