Space Situational Awareness and Space Surveillance and Tracking (SSA & SST) are becoming a bigger challenge every day. Tracking platforms equipped with unparalleled speed, accuracy, and stability are essential to fulfill these demanding mission requirements.
10Micron developed the DDS series mounts and gimbals, specifically designed for high-speed tracking of fast-moving objects and the long-term stability crucial for tasks such as the cataloging of space debris and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Tracking.
RECOMMENDED 10MICRON MOUNTS FOR SSA/SST:
Free Space Optical communications (FSO) and Lasercom links, the avant-garde of telecommunications, demand precise pointing accuracy and trajectory maintenance.
DDS technology features a zero-hysteresis drive system, swift slew response and ultra-high encoder resolution, making it the definitive platform for stabilizing and pointing laser beams.
RECOMMENDED 10MICRON MOUNTS FOR FSO AND LASERCOMM:
Applications in Atmospheric Sciences demand high operational versatility and rapid response.
Our mounts, particularly the DDS Series, are engineered for rapid positioning without compromising precision. This capability is essential for capturing transient atmospheric phenomena and operating in dynamically varying environments, ensuring precise and timely measurement data.
For specific requirements, such as DIMM (Differential Image Motion Monitor), 10Micron offers dedicated and enhanced Altazimuth HPS mounts, perfectly suited for long-term stability in diverse observation settings.
RECOMMENDED 10MICRON MOUNTS FOR ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES:
Professional Astronomical Research depends on critical factors, such as a total absence of induced vibrations and accurate tracking.
The DDS Series is engineered to deliver near-zero tracking error even during long exposures. The structural robustness and long-term reliability of these mounts ensure the high quality of collected data remains constant over time.
10Micron’s solutions—including the HPS line (ideal for Altazimuth and Equatorial configurations with moderate payloads)—provide the stability and precision required for diverse research applications, from photometry to spectroscopy.
RECOMMENDED 10MICRON MOUNTS FOR ASTRONOMICAL RESEARCH:
The 10Micron High Precision and Speed and Direct Drive System technologies also extend beyond established frontiers, offering the adaptability and versatility necessary to drive innovation and accommodate New Applications in both space and terrestrial sectors.
Our flexibility and ability to adapt to the needs of the most demanding customers allows us to be a dynamic partner, ready to face new technological challenges.
