The High Resolution Camera (HRC) is a black and white camera with a miniaturised telescope, which was launched on board ESA's PROBA-1 satellite on 22 October 2001, and is primarily intended for technology, educational and general public information purposes.

With a high spatial resolution of five metres, HRC can acquire images with an area of 25 square kilometres.

The HRC was built by OIP of Belgium.
