Space-Qualified Lidar Systems for Robotic and Human Space Exploration

Optech's space-proven lidar systems offer technological solutions that map and visualize objects at the speed of light:

  • Rendezvous Lidar Sensor (RLS) met United States Air Force mission requirements in support of a 1-year spacecraft autonomous rendezvous technology demonstration mission, the XSS-11

  • Meteorological Lidar Sensor landed on Mars in May 2008, and helped to provide definitive proof of the existence of water on Mars.

Optech is strategically partnered with the world-leading space robotics developer MDA Space Missions to offer advanced space lidar systems for planetary exploration and orbital operations.
