The primary objective of this study was to simulate lunar thermal environments to qualify a modified Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) camera for potential flight applications. A comprehensive testing regimen was developed, including both vacuum and thermal vacuum testing. The tests subjected the camera to temperatures corresponding to expected extrema, and thermal performance was recorded throughout the process. The testing demonstrated that both the camera and its thermal protection systems were able to maintain operational functionality under most of the simulated conditions. The results of the testing indicate that the implemented thermal protection system is effective for the expected lunar environments. Despite the decrease in operational time in comparison with terrestrial usage, the camera's overall performance supports its suitability for use in both flight and lunar missions.
