Extract

The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) aggressive pursuit of reducing the size and weight of satellite systems for advanced space missions is providing a vital thrust to the development of “systemson-a-chip.” Adaptive optics technologies offer tremendous potential in reducing the weight and cost of space-based optical systems.
