Nikon’s telescopes to be installed on Axelspace’s next-generation Earth observation satellites GRUS-3

By [NR] admin | Published: May 19, 2026


Nikon’s custom telescopes will equip all seven of Axelspace’s next-generation GRUS-3 Earth observation microsatellites, scheduled for launch in 2026 on the Transporter-17 rideshare mission.

Building on Nikon’s prior supply of telescopes for the original GRUS-1 satellites (launched 2018 and 2021), the new optics leverage the company’s Applied Optics and Precision Technologies expertise to create a compact telescope paired with Axelspace’s image sensor unit. The seven-satellite constellation will enable daily revisits over latitudes north of 25°, significantly boosting wide-area, high-frequency imaging capacity for AxelGlobe services in agriculture, disaster response, forestry, and infrastructure monitoring.

Nikon also has a close strategic partnership with Unistellar, which manufactures advanced, computer-connected smart telescopes.
