Space missions allow us to observe the universe and explore planetary environments that cannot be studied from Earth alone. From distant galaxies to nearby planets, scientific discovery depends on the ability to measure faint signals with high precision. cosine develops advanced measurement systems that enable scientists and space agencies to observe, analyse, and understand the physical processes that shape our universe.

What must be measured

Space and planetary research relies on detecting signals that are often extremely weak or difficult to capture. Key measurements include:

  • High-energy radiation from cosmic phenomena
  • Planetary surface and atmospheric composition
  • Spectral signatures of distant astronomical objects
  • Environmental conditions in planetary systems

These observations require highly specialised optical and sensing technologies capable of operating reliably in space.

How cosine contributes

cosine designs and builds mission-specific measurement systems that support astrophysics and planetary science missions. By combining physics-based understanding with precision engineering, we create optical instruments and sensing technologies that capture accurate data in space environments.

Enabling discovery

Reliable measurement systems allow scientists to explore the universe with greater clarity and confidence. By transforming faint physical signals into usable data, cosine contributes to discoveries that expand our knowledge of space and planetary systems.
