This project entitled ""Electron Multiplying Charged Coupled Device (EMCCD) Camera Controller"" aims at advancing the design of the Electron-Multiplying Charge-Coupled Device (EMCCD) camera controller in order to prepare it for future space missions. EMCCD is a digital imaging technology that is capable of detecting single photon events by way of a unique electron multiplying structure built into the sensor. Key technological advancements include reducing power consumption and adapting heat dissipation of the Canadian EMCCD controller. The heat needs to be dissipated even when no air is present, such as is the case in the space environment; while power consumption must be lowered considering the limited availability of resources for most space missions.
