Telescope systems for space
Studying the nature of distant stars and galaxiesThe challenge
Our solution
HENSOLDT has for years excelled at designing and building telescope systems for space applications. Our engineering capabilities run the gamut from conceptualisation, optical and mechanical design to manufacturing, alignment and space testing. We join forces with customers to co-develop telescopes ranging from classic Cassegrain and Korsch solutions to innovative off-axis systems and beyond.
As a technology company with a customer-centric mindset, our aim is to tailor the optimum optical solution for each application. Our performance promise demands that we deliver precisely what your specifications for encircled energy performance, field of view, spectral capabilities, f-number, focal length,and many other related parametersdictate.
