Abstract
An aerial camera, includes at least one objective, a number of optoelectronic and/or electronic components, and a housing that includes the at least one objective and the optoelectronic and/or or electronic components. The optoelectronic and/or electronic components are arranged next to one another and/or one above the other in the housing in at least two different planes, in particular planes arranged at least approximately parallel to one another. The housing has at least one cooling device for cooling the optoelectronic and/or electronic components. The cooling device has at least one cooling channel that is integrated in the housing and extends between the at least two different planes having the optoelectronic and/or electronic components. A gaseous fluid flows through the at least one cooling channel for the purpose of cooling, and the at least one cooling channel is completely separated from the gaseous surroundings of the optoelectronic and/or electronic components.
