The article discusses the Membrane Optical Imager for Real-Time Exploitation project of researchers at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Topics discussed include the project to develop a glass-free imaging system that relies on plastic, the optics to enable surveillance satellites to provide constant coverage from target sites in geosynchronous orbit and researchers' development of plastic films etched with a diffraction pattern.
