In this paper, we report a novel Time-Delay-Integration (TDI) CMOS image sensor for low-earth orbit (LEO) nano-satellite imaging application, where limited exposure time and unexpected flight fluctuations are major design challenges. The sensor features programmable integration time per stage, dynam...
