Space Sensors

Goodrich offers a wide range of space-qualified sensors that deliver robust performance along with smaller size, lower weight and power, and higher reliability than the competition. These products include: earth sensors, such as our Multi-Mission Earth Horizon Sensor Assembly that provides the reliability, radiation hardness, and the cost advantages of a static sensor with the added features of high accuracy and broad acquisition/operating ranges, with full accuracy; sun sensors with design modules that can be combined to meet the specific needs of a spacecraft mission; and star trackers, such as the HD-1003, which is the world's only Class S Rad-Hard star tracker.

Other products include: the optical system for the Multispectral Thermal Imager, which has a three-mirror anastigmatic off-axis telescope, a single cryogenically cooled focal plane assembly, a mechanical cooler, and an onboard calibration system; sensor optics for the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle; and Fine Guidance Sensors for the Hubble Space Telescope, which provide the telescope with its high degree of pointing accuracy.
