Teledyne-e2v designs and manufactures a wide range of sensors for space and astronomy applications. This includes high performance CCDs for x-ray, visible and near-IR wavelengths. In this paper we illustrate the maturity of CMOS capability for these applications; examples are presented together with performance data. The majority of Teledyne-e2v sensors for these applications are back-thinned for highest spectral response and designed for very low read-out noise; the combination delivers high signal to noise ratio in association with a variety of formats and package designs. The growing Teledyne-e2v capability in delivery of sub-systems and cryogenic cameras is illustratedincluding the 1.2 Giga-pixel J-PAS camera system.
