Key Highlights
- August 2022 - NASA is constantly working on new research projects to explore the universe. A custom-built test chamber for a new NASA space telescope is designed to help ready the spacecraft for launch in 2025. The telescope is designed to create a unique 3D map of the entire sky. The survey will map 100 million stars in the Milky Way and out galaxies, star-forming regions, and other cosmic phenomena.
- February 2022 - US-based cycling eyewear, Tifosi Optics, launched Rail, the sport sunglass. The product is designed especially for cyclists. However, they are also helpful for other long-distance sports. The rimless design of this eyewear breaks that barrier and lowers the weight. The frame's rim can produce an airflow-restricting seal against a face.
- Covid-19 caused worldwide turmoil in the sports industry. Major sporting events at all levels were postponed or canceled. However, post-pandemic things normalized, and a series of sports events were organized. The sports gear companies came back with innovation and technology to secure their businesses and signed deals to recover revenue loss. For instance, Aussie Divers Phuket collaborated with Kraken Underwater Sports in Thailand.

- June 2022 - NASA plans to launch a balloon bigger than a football field to send a new telescope over the South Pole. Astrophysics Stratospheric Telescope for High Spectral Resolution Observations at Submillimeter (ASTHROS) will be put 40,000 meters over Antarctica to research a process that stops star formation in some galaxies. It will further study far-infrared light wavelengths blocked by Earth's atmosphere.
- September 2022 - Kowa Optics revised its telescope portfolio by introducing a flagship spotting scope at the world-famous Falsterbo Bird Show. The Telescope features an image free of negative optical distractions allowing the user to immerse in the scene.
North America hold the major market share.
- The US government announced a one-billion-dollar investment in public-private partnerships to achieve national conservation goals.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the United States Forest Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the United States Department of Transportation signed a 2 billion USD partnership for fish passage and culvert removal. These investments will boost wildlife tours and other forestry activities in the region, ultimately driving the use of sport optics.
- Astronomy is another field that will invite a significant contribution of Sport optics. In December 2022, The African Astronomical Society (AfAS) and the American Astronomy Society (AAS) organized a submission to planning a vision for 2024. It was decided to establish an African astronomical committee that promotes teamwork among scientists and engineers throughout the continent.
- January 2023 - Bushnell launched a live cellular Trail Camera, CelluCore Live, with an optimized antenna for better signal transmission and dual SIM Connectivity. Users can live stream video and receive immediate visibility of the property with the Bushnell Trail Cameras App on their smartphone.
- December 2022 - Sportsbox AI and Foresight Sports partnered to develop a sport optic exclusively for Golf players that will feature swing and shot analysis. With this application, golfers and their instructors will better comprehend how a swing change can affect ball flight.
