Off-hand, I would say Dalsa (in Canada) is you best bet, as they make a lot of TDI
and large CCDs, but both together might be a challange.  Their web site is at
http://www.dalsa.com

They tend to cater to the industrial imaging market, so you will have to space
qualify them yourself I expect.  My guess is you have an earth observation
application that needs high resolution and also high SNR.
