Mapping new frontiers in the infrared
Customer Story Mapping new frontiers in the infrared In early 2018, the Hayabusa 2 space probe made history when it sent a lander to the surface of Ryugu, a primitive, diamond-shaped asteroid only half a mile wide. The probe was designed to gather data that will deepen scientists’ understanding of the solar system’s formation nearly 4.6 billion years ago. This kind of science – unthinkable even just a few decades ago – is only possible today because of advances in engineering and the ingenuity of companies like French infrared (IR) technology pioneer Lynred, whose vast portfolio of IR detectors covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum from near to very far IR. Lynred and its US-based subsidiary, Lynred USA, are global leaders in the design and manufacture of high-quality IR
