The breakthrough wasn’t a new telescope. It was a new way to build one. The Big Ideas Lab podcast takes a deep dive on the CODA telescope, an all-aluminum, compact optics system designed for a new class of low-cost, high-impact missions. livermorelab.info/46uS15M

Advanced imaging capabilities are coming to CAPSTONE 02. We’re excited to partner with @Livermore_Lab (LLNL), whose tri-optic imaging payload will bring advanced optical capabilities to the mission. The payload will image CAPSTONE 02’s companion spacecraft at ranges relevant to rendezvous and proximity operations, providing data supporting relative navigation. It will also observe the Moon, Earth, star fields, and distant solar-system objects to support mission imaging and navigation.
