Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (LEOS) is a research lab belonging to the Indian Space Research Organisation. It involves in design and development of optics and sensor modules that can be deployed either onboard satellite or with the launch vehicle.
History
Established in 1993, the Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems was established at the same place where the first Indian satellite Aryabhata was fabricated in 1975, namely Bangalore. The laboratory has developed sensors for tracking Earth and Stars for the satellites which were launched when the space research was ushering in India. Satellites like Aryabata, Bhaskara, Apple, IRS, SROSS and INSAT-2 have been equipped with the sensors developed by this laboratory.{{cite web|url=http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-Space-Systems-and-Industry/Laboratory-for-Electro-Optic-Systems-LEOS-India.html|title=Laboratory for Electro-Optic Systems (LEOS) (India), Space industry – Major sub-contractors|publisher=janes.com|date=16 October 2006|access-date=25 February 2012|archive-date=11 April 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130411045656/http://articles.janes.com/articles/Janes-Space-Systems-and-Industry/Laboratory-for-Electro-Optic-Systems-LEOS-India.html|url-status=dead}} The lab has also participated in the India's first Moon mission Chandrayaan-1.{{cite news|url=http://zeenews.india.com/chandrayaan/story.aspx?aid=477110|publisher=Zee News|title=The Chandrayaan Team|access-date=25 February 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120806161313/http://zeenews.india.com/chandrayaan/story.aspx?aid=477110|archive-date=6 August 2012|df=dmy-all}}{{cite web|url=http://isrohq.vssc.gov.in/isr0dem0v2/index.php/about-isro/geographical-location/37-isro-centres/90-laboratory-for-electro-optics-systms-leos|title=Laboratory for Electro Optics Systems (LEOS)|publisher=vssc.gov.in|access-date=25 February 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227181245/http://isrohq.vssc.gov.in/isr0dem0v2/index.php/about-isro/geographical-location/37-isro-centres/90-laboratory-for-electro-optics-systms-leos|archive-date=27 December 2014|df=dmy-all}} They have an instrument in ISRO's mission to Sun, Aditya-L1 designed to measure the magnetic fields around Lagrangian points.{{cite news|url=https://researchmatters.in/news/here%E2%80%99s-what-scientists-aim-gain-aditya-l1-india%E2%80%99s-first-mission-sun|publisher=Research Matters|title=India's first mission to the Sun|access-date=24 March 2020|archive-date=10 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200810122925/https://researchmatters.in/news/here%E2%80%99s-what-scientists-aim-gain-aditya-l1-india%E2%80%99s-first-mission-sun|url-status=live}}
