Satellites are one of the most familiar spacecrafts that enrich our lives. They range in size from cubesats whose dimentions are just several tens of centimeters to large satellites which weighes several tons, and are deployed in different orbits, including Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO), Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), Geostationary Orbit (GEO), and cislunar Orbit (Earth-month, beyond GEO). AGC has a variety of materials that can maintain the high performance of satellites for various missions.

Suppressing Ghosting and Flare, as well as Visual Sensitivity Correction
A filter that adjusts the sensitivity of the image sensor to human visual sensitivity. It suppresses the color shift between the captured image and the visual image. Absorptive filters reduce multiple reflections and scattering caused by sunlight and unwanted stray light generated in the optical system, and are effective in suppressing ghosting and flare.
