The instrumentation required to image space presents major challenges. The design, materials and construction of these instruments must take into account not only resolving power, but also constraints relating to size, configuration, weight and thermal variations. The symposium provides insight into the latest technological developments in this field, ranging from compact optical systems to instrumentation for extremely large telescopes.
For whom
The symposium will be of interest to engineers, system architects and R&D managers working on the design and construction of optical and opto-mechatronic systems, particularly for applications in space and astronomy. Researchers and technical specialists from the precision technology and photonics industries will also find the programme relevant.
Programme
Work on the programme is still in full swing. Please visit the DSPE website for an overview of the programme.
