The core business of EOST is the development of optical telescopes and
precision optical systems for satellite laser ranging, astronomy, and space
surveillance. We have delivered 14 large telescope systems to customers
around the world. Our telescopes deliver sub-arcsecond images, point and
track precisely, and many operate autonomously from remote sites.
We have performed under demanding schedules and technical requirements.
Mature management processes and engineering and technical
resources enable us to design,
construct, and deliver a wide range of defense
and laser products, as well as telescopes, domes, and software.
EOST expanded on December 22, 2004, adding a facility with more than 40,000 square feet at 3160 E. Transcon Way in Tucson, Arizona. This location houses EOST's US Corporate Headquarters, Telescope Engineering, and the fabrication of advanced fire control systems.
Also in Tucson at 925 W. Grant Road, a separate 10,000 square foot
specialized assembly and test facility (ATF) enables integrated product performance verification of state-of-the-art telescopes—before delivery.
The ATF includes a 30-foot high bay with
rolling roof panels for on-sky measurements of pointing, tracking, and
wavefront quality. The ATF is equipped with precision test equipment
including a Zygo interferometer, Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors, digital
signal analyzer, and data acquisition system with a suite of sensors. Machine shop facilities are also housed at this location.
Our success results from unmatched domain expertise in telescopes and observatories
and a lean business approach that stresses efficiency. We believe the costs of
doing business should go to supporting technical and management staff and that
non-essential expenses should be minimized. This philosophy reduces EOST’s overall
rates and provides high value to our customers. Quality is assured by management
systems fully compliant with ISO 9001. A heritage of successful completion of
fixed-price projects validates this approach. Recent work on cost-reimbursable
contracts further demonstrates the robustness of EOST's business processes.
