This advanced Cassegrain-like telescope is engineered to achieve exceptional spatial resolution and field of view (FOV) through innovative design and self-filtering coatings on its primary and secondary mirrors. Target wavelength isolation is accomplished using solar-blind CsI photocathode technology. The system utilizes a photoevent counting detector that accurately preserves the Poisson statistics of incoming photon fluxes. With a compact optics design (3 kg) and electronic components weighing 2.7 kg, along with a minimal power requirement of just 4 W, this device is optimized for performance and efficiency.
