Capabilities
|
|
EOST has an extensive array of resources
to support a wide range of capabilities.
|
|
|
Telescopes
We offer standard telescope designs from 1 meter to 3.5 meters in aperture. Our designs can be customized for a wide range of applications in astronomy, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) laser ranging, satellite tracking, and space surveillance. We also design custom telescopes to meet unique requirements for precision, environment, or performance.

|
|
Observatories
We provide complete, turnkey observatories. Our experience delivering and operating integrated observatory facilities gives us a unique understanding of operational considerations.
|
|
|
Space Lasers
We build custom laser systems for space surveillance, optical communication, laser ranging, and other applications. Our technologies allow us to set new standards in laser ranging, space surveillance, and custom laser development.
|
|
|
Fire Control Systems
We produce a line of lightweight, stabilized, robust military fire control and surveillance systems that have served in tough environments. Our products bring together the best in compact, low power, lightweight electro-optic technology and are suitable for light and heavy vehicles as well as the extreme conditions of tracked-vehicle and marine environments.

|
|
Optical Design
Our complete optical design capabilities and our personnel experienced in optical fabrication allow us to develop innovative optical designs that are readily manufacturable at reasonable cost. Additional capabilities include stray light analysis, optical tolerancing, and test development.

Software
Software for autonomous operation is an EOST strength. We have a suite of observatory control software currently in use on the Mt. Stromlo satellite tracking telescope and also being implemented for the Lick Automated Planet Finder Telescope. This software was developed specifically for remote telescope operation. It demonstrates EOST understands the unique requirements of autonomous operation and our ability to deliver systems for this application.
|
|
|
Engineering Services
We also provide engineering services to support the development of innovative optical systems, telescopes, gimbals, and related equipment. Our staff of experienced engineers offers broad expertise in opto-mechanical design, integrated system analysis, electronic design, servo system modeling, and software development. Our role in projects includes performing design studies, serving as outside reviewers, designing and manufacturing complete subsystems or components.
