Satellite Telescopes
Precision Manufactured for Defense and Commercial Applications
Better Optics = Better Images = Better Data
Customized SiC Optics and Telescopes
AOS satellite telescope products are made from SiC and are based on AOS in-house designs. We provide value to our customers by providing launch-ready hardware for satellite payloads. The design process begins with baseline optical designs and advances with mechanical design through full structural, thermal, optical performance (“STOP”) simulation of “on-station” performance. This process includes design for vibration and shock tolerances, and performance over the full thermal-vacuum environment. We also make custom aspheric and lightweighted components for telescope and satellite partners as an OEM.

The AOS Advantage
All AOS satellite telescopes are made from Silicon Carbide (SiC) material. SiC is a ceramic material that enables lightweight, thermally insensitive and stable optical systems needed for low earth orbit earth imaging. SiC is space-proven with a history of successful programs for science and defense applications.
High Performance Custom Solutions
Our design and manufacturing team is available for your custom small satellite telescope projects. With decades of optical and mechanical design experience, we are your partner in all steps of the development process including requirements definition, sensor selection, optical/mechanical design and performance analysis. As one of a few companies in the world with in-house SiC optics manufacturing, we have unique insights into design techniques that provide for an optimized manufacturing process to provide cost effective, high performance small satellite telescopes.
