International audience SAMI, the SCAO module for the E-ELT adaptive optics imaging camera MICADO, could be used in the first years of operation of MICADO on the telescope, until MAORY is operational and coupled to MICADO. We present the results of the study made in the framework of the MICADO phase A to design and estimate the performance of this SCAO module.
