Labs

Our lab mastered surface treatments based on deposit coatings, ion beam figuring, reactive plasma etching, surface micro texturing and related metrology.

CSL performs various qualifications on space instruments or equipments by submitting them to environmental space conditions.

The two main fields are space optical systems and optical metrology. The lab has a secular activity in the design, development, integration and calibration of space optical systems as well as for astronomy than for earth observation purposes.

The CSL laboratory of electronics grown through the constant need to bring innovative solutions to the problems generated by the space environment and by the permanent request of the space instruments to achieve better signal to noise resolutions.

CSL activities on radar imagery processing have begun for twenty years and resulted in the creation of the "Space Environment and Remote Sensing Group".

The thermal and mechanical competences of the CSL originally emerged to support our historical activities; design and integration of space instruments, as well as operation of our unique set of environmental test facilities.
