sharp images, reliable communications.

The fascination for astronomical research has inspired the construction of sensitive optical instruments able to function under extreme conditions. There are also practical applications in the aerospace sector, such as earth observation (for e.g. climate change) and laser satellite communications for global reach. We develop advanced systems and cooling technology for this purpose, by applying our optomechatronics and thermal expertise.
