The combined capabilities of the Optical Space Systems Division enables a host of world-class sensor products for applications ranging from small thermal detectors to sophisticated space payloads, laser radar sensors, and satellite attitude sensor products.

Goodrich has participated successfully in many high-profile space and airborne vehicle programs with sensor products such as the Fine Guidance System for the Hubble Space Telescope, the Multi-Thermal Imager (Remote Sensing Payload), and Hyperspectral Digital Imagery Collection Experiment, to name a few.

Goodrich attitude determination sensors measure the orientation of a satellite with regard to the star field, earth’s infrared horizon, or the sun and earth’s magnetic field. Thousands of Goodrich attitude determination sensors have been employed on a wide-variety of spacecraft, with a remarkable record of on-orbit performance and reliability.

Our detector fabrication facilities, awarded the Thermo Nicolet Strategic Supplier Performance Excellence Award every year for seven years, produces high-end thermal and photonic IR detectors for both commercial and space applications.

Unprecedented performance - there are lots of good reasons to depend on Goodrich.
