A pioneer of technology used across the Solar System, Exosens – through its brand Photonis – has invested £1 million to advance space research and innovation facilities in collaboration with Space Park Leicester.
Exosens has worked with University of Leicester academics for more than 25 years and more recently it forged a relationship with the university’s science and innovation hub, Space Park Leicester, working alongside it on technology which is being used in some of today’s most exciting space missions.
It has now invested £1 million, through funding and other support, contributing to the creation of a Centre of Excellence in Optics Design and Manufacturing at Space Park Leicester.
This funding will enhance the METEOR space programme which brings together more than 100 researchers and industrial research and development personnel working on Earth observation and the challenges facing the space sector’s evolution.
Dr Adrian Martindale, Head of Space Projects and Instrumentation at Space Park Leicester and a Lecturer in Space Instrumentation at the University of Leicester, said: “Photonis’ technology is the enabler for certain types of scientific instruments and as a result its technology is on lots of space missions and is all over the Solar System.
