Bright Solutions offers complete design, customization, and manufacturing services for clients involved in complex space missions ensuring precision, reliability, and innovation in every project, leveraging on their extensive expertise in creating highly ruggedized laser units designed for flight, alongside their experience in developing lasers for satellite instruments
Hereafter we present two Space Programs with Bright Solutions’ lasers onboard!

Blue Ghost Mission 4
Bright Solutions supplies the Laser Head Box and Laser Electronics for the Laser Ablation Ionization Mass Spectrometer (CLPS-LIMS), developed by the University of Bern, Switzerland
CLPS-LIMS will fly as part of the payload suite aboard Blue Ghost Mission 4, led by Firefly Aerospace under NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative. The instrument will perform in-situ chemical analysis of lunar regolith in the Moon’s south polar region.
The laser source generates <2ns pulses at 532 nm with up to 30 uJ pulse energy at 200 Hz of repetition rate The miniaturized laser has variable output power and has been provided with electronic driver and special wiring included

OSIRIS-REx
Bright Solutions contributed to NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid sampling mission by providing the laser sources for the OLA (OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter) scanning LiDAR for generation of high-resolution topographical maps of the Bennu asteroid for support in Bennu’s proximity navigation, data collection for center-of-mass determination for gravitational studies, high-resolutions local maps of candidate sampling sites.
The OSIRIS-Rex Laser Altimeter (OLA) includes two laser sources and a single receiver. Both laser sources operate at 1064 nm: a low-energy 10 μJ 10 kHz sub-ns microchip laser is optimized for high-resolution short-range data collection while a higher-energy 1 mJ 100 Hz multi-ns DPSS laser is used for long range (up to 7.5 km) acquisitions. At 200 m distance accuracy up to 5 cm can be achieved.

Bright Solutions will be present at Space Tech Expo USA 2026!
We will be there, with our partner RPMC, from June 2 – 4, 2026, in Anaheim, California.
Come and visit Bright Solutions at Booth 262!
We would be glad to discuss your needs, and share more info about our space design capabilities

It’s that time of the year again!
And we are excited to return to San Francisco for two key international events in the photonics industry. We are pleased to announce that we will be exhibiting at:

During the exhibitions, our team will guide you through our wide portfolio of ns, sub-ns, and ps DPSS laser solutions, designed to meet the most demanding application requirements.

Don’t miss the opportunity to discover our product models developed for specific applications such as airborne LiDAR, space programs, defence applications, special micromachining, medical treatments, biotechnologies and more.

We also provide special laser configurations for operating even in extreme environments, ranging from submarine applications to space missions.

You can also schedule a dedicated meeting in advance to discuss specific needs, applications, and customized solutions for industrial, medical, aerospace, and airborne systems.

For any further information or to arrange a meeting in advance, please do not hesitate to contact us at below email address:

• Andrea Lucca (a.lucca@brightsolutions.it);
• Stefano Trevisan (s.trevisan@brightsolutions.it);
• Marta Beltrami (m.beltrami@brightsolutions.it)

We look forward to meeting you!
