OUTPOST 3M - Computerized clamshell dome for telescopes and space monitoring

Unlike traditional observatory domes that require synchronization between the telescope and the dome shutter, OUTPOST 3M opens completely, giving telescopes unrestricted access to the entire sky. This makes it the ideal solution not only for astronomical observatories but also for fast-response tasks such as satellite tracking, space debris monitoring, and all-sky surveys.

Constructed with a multi-layer GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) structure and featuring anodized aluminum and stainless steel components, the OUTPOST 3M delivers enhanced rigidity and durability, ensuring long-term stability even in the most demanding environments. High-speed motors and advanced remote-control electronics guarantee rapid opening and closing, while a selective shutter mode allows partial opening to protect the telescope from strong winds without sacrificing visibility.

Developed as part of PL Observatory Stations, OUTPOST 3M combines professional-grade reliability with an affordable price, making it suitable not only for research institutes, universities, and space economy companies, but also for advanced amateur astronomers and schools seeking a higher-quality solution. By merging robustness, automation, and affordability, OUTPOST 3M sets a new standard in all-sky domes for telescopes.
