Space Optics Team

The Space Optics Team aims to develop challenging optical systems that are used in the fields of astronomy, space science, and advanced science, encompassing optics from cameras installed on spaceborne satellites, reflecting mirrors in ground-based astronomical telescopes to extreme ultraviolet high-precision reflecting mirrors for synchrotron radiation accelerators. As a notable example, the team developed the first domestically produced reflecting mirror for satellites. The team, which is comprised of experts from various fields, actively collaborates with both domestic and overseas industry, academic, and research experts to research and develop unexplored high value-added optical systems.

Current R&D Projects

• 1 Development of high-precision optics for spaceborne cameras
• 2 Development of ground-based optical systems for use in harsh environments
• 3 Development of measurement and manufacturing technology for ultraprecision large optics.
• 4 Measurement/Calibration of large flat, free-form, and aspherical surfaces

Recent R&D Highlights

• Technology transfer of automatic polishing technology for large optics to DANDAN Optics (Running loyalty of 300 million won)
• Development of a large flat mirror testing method up to 1.2 m with a few nm precision.
