CILAS received ARIEL Consortium

Earlier this year, CILAS Aubagne had the privilege to host a meeting for ARIEL Consortium (Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey).
ARIEL is the European Space Agency - ESA’s next-generation mission to observe the chemical make-up of distant extrasolar planets, it is planned to be launched in 2029.

In the frame of this program, CILAS is in charge of the coating of several components for different members of the consortium such as mirrors, dichroics and filters.
This meeting was the opportunity to discuss about the ongoing production activities but also new coatings opportunities.

We warmly thank all the participants for these 2 fruitful days of discussions about coatings and optics, it is our common goal to make the ARIEL mission a success.
