NAME ASTEROID MULTI-BAND IMAGING CAMERA
TYPE
DESCRIPTION The Asteroid Multi-band Imaging Camera (AMICA) on Hayabusa is designed to collect scientific images and also to be used for optical navigation. The AMICA system consists of a refracting telescope, a filter wheel with seven ECAS filters, a 1024x1000 pixel CCD, and associated electronics. AMICA has a field-of-view of 5.7 x 5.7 degrees giving a frame size of about 1 km at 10 km range.
