SDA-85
Monolithic Optical Telescope
.png)
A powerful yet compact 85mm aperture monolithic catadioptric telescope with all optical and mechanical surfaces integrated into a single structure — eliminating metering frameworks and alignment sensitivities
High-resolution optics for small satellites — in UV, Visible, and IR configurations — ready for rapid deployment, providing detailed and time-critical image intelligence
Space Domain Awareness
Proliferated ISR
Earth Observation
Responsive Space Solutions
RSO Identification and Tracking
Rendezvous & Proximity Operations
Rugged & Stable
Maintains focus across temperature changes and offers exceptional resistance to vibration and shock, simplifying integration and ensuring stable, long-term performance
Excellent SWaP efficiency
Architecture delivers a low-mass form factor 3x to 6× shorter
than comparable conventional designs
Long focal length with diffraction-limited image quality
Inherently aligned optical surfaces support high focal length
to total track-length ratios, while maintaining diffraction-limited image quality and strong radiometric performance
Flight heritage
Three decades of support for NASA, DoD, and commercial missions, plus the SDA-85 has TRL9 qualification with customer selected camera options
