Abstract
Guidestar Optical Systems (Guidestar) proposes to fabricate and deliver a prototype Adaptive Optics (AO) system for a meter class telescope used for Space Surveillance. This AO system was designed in the Phase I effort to integrate with a Government provided AO system. Through modeling and simulation, Guidestar demonstrated the ability to detect closely spaced objects at Geosynchronous orbit from the ground with varying visual magnitudes between the objects. At the end of the proposed Phase II effort, Guidestar will deliver a prototype AO system to the Government, support integration of the AO system with a Government provided meter class telescope, and support initial on-sky operation of the telescope and the AO system with a satellite object in geosynchronous orbit.
Research Objective
The goal of phase II is to continue the R&D efforts initiated in Phase I. Funding is based on the results achieved in Phase I and the scientific and technical merit and commercial potential of the project proposed in Phase II.
