This week, Ommatidia LIDAR and COMET INGENIERÍA have kicked off a project with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop a new generation of in-orbit surface metrology systems for large deployable reflectors. Being able to measure the shape of these antennas during operation with high accuracy is essential for future European very-high-throughput communications and Earth observation satellite missions.

Speckle noise has long limited the accuracy of coherent laser vibrometry, especially on rough or composite surfaces. Ommatidia LiDAR’s SpeckleGuard™ technology tackles this challenge using compound aperture diversity and real-time fusion to stabilize velocity measurements across multiple beams. The result is cleaner data, higher measurement coherence, and reliable vibration analysis without surface preparation—even in demanding industrial or research environments.
