MONOPTEC has licensed Electro Optic Systems Pty Limited, to produce composite Fixed Shutter Domes (FSD) of 1.5-meter diameter and larger for simultaneous tracking of multiple satellites in Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR). The FSD is an enabling technology for all telescope enclosure applications from astronomy to SLR and beyond. Modern SLR applications require kilohertz ranging with automated systems and single shot precision of a few mm. These systems must be eye safe, yet range reliably to geostationary satellites requiring 100 mJ class picosecond lasers. They also must track multiple satellite targets simultaneously. The FSD is the only design which can accommodate an optical glass window to protect the SLR's interior environment while offering speed to acquire and track satellites. Window washing can be provided under the fixed shutter, making remote and robotic operations even more practical. |
