Teledyne Imaging Sensors (TIS) is the leading supplier of infrared focal plane arrays (FPAs) to astronomy and TIS plays a strong role in providing image sensors for Earth and Planetary Science. This paper starts with a brief introduction to TIS’ technologies and image sensor products. We then present some of TIS’ deliveries to space missions and ground-based telescopes. The space missions include ESA’s Euclid Dark Universe mission and several NASA missions (James Webb Space Telescope, Roman Space Telescope, SPHEREx). TIS continues to serve ground-based astronomy by providing the H2RG and the world’s largest high performance astronomy FPA, the H4RG-15, to several ground-based observatories. Active programs include NASA’s NEO Surveyor asteroid surveillance mission, ESA’s Ariel exo-planet spectroscopy mission, and deliveries to the European Southern Observatory’s Extremely Large Telescope.
