Near Field of View (nFOV) Telescope
Overview
The Honeywell Narrow Field of View (nFOV) Telescope is a high-performance, ITAR-free optical system engineered for global Space Situational Awareness (SSA) missions. Its gimballed narrow field-of-view design enables precise monitoring of space objects without impacting spacecraft attitude or orbit, offering unmatched operational flexibility. Leveraging Honeywell’s proven SSA and optical system heritage, the telescope combines high sensitivity, space-qualified electronics, and a large-format, radiation-tolerant detector to deliver reliable performance in challenging space environments. Configurable for both standalone and hosted missions, the nFOV Telescope empowers operators to make informed decisions for safe launch, orbit selection, and on-orbit operations.
Designed for military and civil space operators worldwide, the nFOV Telescope provides a resliable, flexible, and high-precision solution for safe and effective space operations.
