Tiny Telescope: Enabling Diffraction Limited Imaging with a Single Optical Element

In 30 seconds

The Tiny Telescope is a monolithic optical element that integrates refractive and reflective surfaces with internal baffles to overcome volume and mass constraints. By eliminating multi-element assembly requirements, this architecture enhances thermal stability and mechanical robustness for small satellite platforms. The design achieves diffraction-limited performance while remaining compatible with high-volume, scalable manufacturing processes.
