The company "Lomo" (part of the "Kalashnikov" concern) will develop a small catadioptric space-based telescope. This was reported in the press service of the concern.
Work on this project was discussed at a joint meeting with representatives of the scientific and production structures of customers.
Representatives of the plant also shared their plans for the development of optoelectronic equipment for groups of small spacecraft in orbit.
The guests of the enterprise highly appreciated the unique geoinformation solutions of "Lomo", based on remote sensing data of the Earth and modern processing technologies.
Earlier, the company "Lomo", together with the Space Research Institute, developed a prototype of a compact remote sensing system Earth with high resolution for small spacecraft. This system, based on the Ritchey-Chrétien catadioptric optical scheme, is designed to operate in frame-by-frame mode. The diameter of the main mirror is 334 mm, and the length of the telescope is 700 mm. Currently, work is underway to manufacture a prototype of this product.
