    Space metrology questions

    What space measurement workflows does Ommatidia support today?

    Ommatidia Q-Series instruments support ground-based metrology and vibration measurement on large deployable reflectors and other satellite structures. The in-orbit development programme extends coherent optical measurement towards reflector characterization during space missions.

    What does the 20 µm at 20 m figure express?

    The 20 µm at 20 m figure is a capability reference for the measurement route described here. A programme review connects configuration, target return and material, geometry, stand-off, environment, calibration and sampling to the applicable specification and uncertainty budget.

    Which engineering decisions can the measurement data support?

    The measurement data supports shape recovery, reflector characterization, structural-response analysis, alignment and qualification planning. Traceable references and programme acceptance criteria turn those results into clear evidence for the next engineering decision.

    What should a space-metrology feasibility review include?

    Define the structure and material, required geometry or dynamic output, working distance, optical access, field of view, point density, accuracy or uncertainty target, thermal-vacuum or radiation constraints, acquisition time, reference method, data interface and acceptance criteria. Separate ground-test needs from any in-orbit requirement.
