About Us

We develop low-cost small Electro-Optical / Infrared (EO/IR) satellite payloads for weather, climate, defense, commercial remote sensing and scientific applications. Our payloads leverage advanced technologies in multi/hyperspectral imaging to provide Earth Intelligence across the spectrum from UV to the VIS and Far Infrared. 

What Drives Us

We live at a time of both great promise and great challenges in the use of space technology for humanity. Earth Observation from space allows greater understanding of the weather, climate, and society’s use of our water, land, and atmospheric resources. Simultaneously, there is a greater need for Space Domain Awareness to allow safe operations in orbit and improved Geo-Intelligence for national security. Lastly, we are entering into an age of discoveries in planetary science and astronomy. These discoveries are for the first time being opened up beyond the large space agencies to a wider range of institutions and even individuals. 

At Brandywine Photonics we are driven to excel at providing both key subsystems and instruments to our aerospace customers for:

  • Large Aperture Hyperspectral Imaging
  • Cryogenically cooled Infrared cameras of imaging clouds, wildfires, and defense applications.
  • Cameras for UV and Low-light Visible applications such as space weather and precision agriculture.
  • Infrared Sounding payloads
  • Planetary Science payloads
