Optical Payloads and Space Optical Remote Sensing

Sept. 23, 2024

The heart of a space mission is found in the space optical remote sensing payload. Whether the mission is focused on deep space exploration, science, weather, navigation, communications, or simply earth observations, the payload is where the action happens. Optical payloads have two special roles: they produce data and beam it back to Earth.  

At Avantier, we specialize in custom high-performance optics, and that includes specialized optics made to order for use in space. In this article, we’ll delve into what is involved with advanced optical element development and advanced optical system design and manufacturing for space technology. First, though,  just what is an optical payload?
