  1. Small Business Innovation Research Ultra-Lightweight, Large-Aperture, Space-Based TelescopeCorning OCA Applied OpticsGarden Grove, CA INNOVATION Large aperture, all beryllium imaging telescopes that are extremely lightweight, space qualified, scaleable from 0.3 meters to over 1 meter and fully configurable to meet a variety of optical performance requirements ACCOMPLISHMENTS • All beryllium design achieves maximum optical performance at lowest weight. • Scaleable design allows construction of a family of telescopes from 0.3 meters to over 1 meter diameter. • Incorporated features that meet rigorous space launch environments. COMMERCIALIZATION • Sales of over $4M in 1998 and $3M in 1999. • Additional sales of $2 - $5M per year are expected starting in 2000. GOVERNMENTSCIENCE/APPLICATIONS • The SBIR-funded all beryllium telescope is being used on the NASA Goddard Vegetation Canopy Lidar (VCL) mission. • Two 1 meter diameter beryllium telescopes will be used for the Goddard Geoscience Laser Altimeter (GLAS) Instruments. OCA MBLA Telescope GOVERNMENTSCIENCE/APPLICATIONS • One meter diameter beryllium telescope mirrors are being produced for the NASDA Experimental Lidar in Space Equipment (ELISE) program. • The PICASSO-CENA Lidar instrument will utilize a one meter diameter beryllium telescope.
