Unlocking New Possibilities in Satellite Data Transmission

Radio communication is gradually replaced with laser satellite communication, offering much higher data bandwidth. The Tiny Telescope has a decent field of view and is able to observe and locate the incoming laser signal, while the transmitter is pointing the laser ahead towards the receiving satellite. The signal collecting capability of the Tiny Telescope outperforms other technologies of similar size. The single optical element in the Tiny Telescope is extremely robust and can cope with large temperature variations in space.

Tiny Telescope’s technology is designed to enhance the performance of satellite communication systems. Our compact, lightweight telescopes are integrated into satellite systems to provide precise optical alignment for laser communication. This application is particularly valuable for:

  • High Data Rate Transmission: Supporting the demand for increased bandwidth in modern satellite communication.
  • Quantum Communication: Enabling secure data channels through quantum key distribution.
  • Inter-Satellite Links: Facilitating seamless data transfer between satellites in constellations
The best solution

Why Tiny Telescope outperforms conventional solutions

Size & Weight

Tiny Telescope is compact and has a lightweight design, making it ideal for small satellites and space-constrained applications. Easy to integrate without adding significant mass.

Other Optical Systems with similar performance are generally larger and often heavier, limiting their use in smaller satellite platforms.

Precision & Accuracy

Tiny Telescope has a focal length that is much longer than alternative systems of similar size. This results in a larger magnification of stars and an increased position accuracy.

Other Optical Systems consist of multiple lenses are sensitive to temperature variations and ghost reflections. Traditional lens based cameras have inherently lower limits for the achievable magnification and accuracy.

Integration & Scalability

Tiny Telescope is a compact solution, ideal for small satellites and space-constrained applications. Easy to integrate on a satellite of any size.

Other Optical Systems are often larger and heavier, limiting their use in smaller satellite platforms.

Robustness & Durability

Tiny Telescope consists of only a single athermal optical component. It has very few failure mechanisms, thus ensuring a very robust solution.

Other Optical Systems use a camera with multiple lenses can fail in many ways. Misalignment of any lens will compromise the performance, and this can happen due to vibrations or temperature variations.

Cost & Efficiency

Tiny Telescope is a single optical component, providing a small, accurate and robust solution that needs little testing, making it cost effective.

Other Optical Systems are larger and consist of multiple optical components,. These have more failure modes, require additional testing and are thus less cost effective.
