Precision optical systems for space and ground-based observation
Pecchioli Research has decades of experience in the development and production of high-precision optical components and assemblies for astronomical applications,both terrestrial and orbital.
Our work supports the scientific community in its mission to explore the universe, observe celestial phenomena, and monitor our planet from space.
We collaborate with major Italian astrophysical research institutes and aerospace companies involved in space observation programs. Thanks to our vertically integrated production process and advanced metrological capabilities, we are able to deliver tailor-made solutions that meet the strict requirements of both research and flight-ready instrumentation.
Our capabilities include:
Our capabilities include:
Optical components for ground-based telescopes, including lenses, mirrors, and opto-mechanical assemblies optimized for long-term environmental stability and minimal optical aberration.
Space-qualified optical systems designed to withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses of launch and operation in orbit.
Optics for Earth observation payloads, ensuring high-resolution performance for imaging and sensing applications in LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and beyond.
We handle the entire process in-house: optical design, prototyping, CNC machining, thin-film coating, alignment, and final assembly.
Every component is rigorously tested to ensure compliance with the highest industry standards. Our contribution to astronomy reflects our core mission: enabling scientific and technological progress through precision optics.
