Resolve Optics is a leading supplier of application optimised lenses for satellite developers seeking to operate optical instruments in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Optical instruments for use in space are designed to survive a specified total absorbed radiation dose over the lifetime of a mission. Resolve Optics recommend that any LEO mission lasting a year or more, should use radiation resistant optics to guarantee good transmission for the entire length of the mission. However, sometimes there may be a performance criterion such as operational bandwidth, high resolution or athermal operation that is considered more important than longevity.
