Shrinking the Telescope: The Future of Optical Technology

Telescopes could dramatically shrink in the future with a gen-after-next technology called SPIDER. A thin, scalable array of tiny lenslets piece together visual information like a jigsaw puzzle—a science called interferometry—and will eliminate all the bulk of traditional telescopes. Lighter instruments that are faster to build mean cheaper launches, multi-mission spacecraft and even benefits down…

60-Sec Tech: Shrinking Spacecraft

In the near future, we will use small tech for BIG discoveries. In this episode of 60-Sec Tech, we look at photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and learn how this emerging technology could change the way we see the universe. Source
