Press Release
Rochester, NY – April 14, 2026 – Eoptic Space Systems announced today at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs the launch of DeepScan, the company’s first dedicated imaging payload for responsive space.
Eoptic’s DeepScan technology uses highly sensitive imaging to gather detailed information even in low-light conditions, extending visibility deep into space. At the heart of the system is the advanced Teledyne CIS120 space-grade CMOS imager, which enables DeepScan to operate effectively across ultraviolet (UV), visible, and near-infrared (NIR)spectral bands. This powerful combination allows the payload to capture clear, high-quality images from faint or distant objects, delivering reliable performance in the challenging environment of space.
The U.S.-manufactured imaging payloads provide real-time awareness for fast and accurate tracking, detection, and analysis of objects in space, known as Resident Space Objects (RSOs). Onboard processing delivers immediate, useful insights for ongoing space domain awareness in critical missions.
The captured data helps identify key details about these objects — including their unique signatures, surface characteristics, orientation, and other tactical information. It cuts through background interference to assess collision risks, ownership, and potential threats. This comprehensive view enables precise determination of an object’s size, shape, materials, temperature, and even fuel types or engine exhaust plumes.
“Today marks a pivotal milestone as Eoptic launches DeepScan, our first dedicated space imaging payload,” said Pano Spiliotis, CEO of Eoptic. “DeepScan delivers real-time behavioral analysis and detailed characterization of resident space objects. This gives operators the mission-critical intelligence needed to detect, track, and respond faster than ever in an increasingly contested space domain.”
The system features a compact, modular design that combines the camera, optics, and onboard processing into a single payload. It uses proven, space-qualified components — including Teledyne space-rated sensors and a monolithic telescope developed by Lawrence Livermore National Lab — for a reliable, low-risksolution. The payload operates across multiple spectral bands, including ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), near-infrared (NIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR), to improve detection, tracking, and characterization
