SpaceFlux, a company specializing in space-based sensor technologies, is set to make its Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) telescope testbed fully operational by the third quarter of 2025. This development aims to advance space surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities by enhancing detection and imaging performance.
According to Janes, the SWIR telescope testbed is designed to operate in challenging environments, providing high-resolution imagery and improved sensitivity compared to traditional infrared sensors. This system is expected to play a crucial role in space situational awareness, enabling better monitoring of satellites and debris.
SpaceFlux’s upcoming milestone underscores its commitment to delivering cutting-edge space sensor technology that supports defense and commercial space operations. The fully operational testbed will allow for extensive testing and refinement of SWIR capabilities, setting the stage for future deployment in operational space systems.
