Deployable telescope demonstration and COTS components. |
| Description |
Demonstration of Imaging Technology by using "Extensible Boom" as a Telescope. Demonstration of COTS-oriented Components for Nano-satellites. Advanced Amateur Radio Service. "Refraction-type" telescope, focuses light with a lens. The advantage of this approach is that the optical system can be rather resistant to structure alteration. In order to utilize this point, we designed and developed a flexible and extensible boom as a telescope. Could accomplish the 30m ground resolution. |
