NASA’s 98-meter rocket (Space Launch System) carries fourteen aerospace imaging cameras made by Bulgarian engineers, the BTA announced. The rocket is ready for launch from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday morning Bulgarian time.
The cameras will monitor the operation of the engines, the fuel systems and the separation of the crew capsule Orion during the first flight, part of the Artemis 1 mission to the Moon. The cameras are of the Bobcat line and are the brainwork of Bulgarian engineer Dr. Petko Dinev, a graduate of the High School of Mathematics in Kazanlak and student of the famous physicist Teodosiy Teodosiev.
They were created in Petko Dinev’s company and can function in a temperature range from minus 40C to 85C. They can hold out against strong vibration and an acceleration that is 100 times higher than the Earth’s. All components and the preparatory work were done in Bulgaria. The cameras were assembled by Bulgarians in Boca Raton, Florida. “We can proudly say that these are the products of Bulgarian brains and hands", Petko Dinev said. Petko Dinev earned a Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
