An optical sensor system includes a primary mirror configured to receive electromagnetic radiation from the objects, a secondary mirror configured to receive the electromagnetic radiation reflected from the primary mirror, and a tertiary mirror configured to receive the electromagnetic radiation reflected from the secondary mirror. The system further includes a dichroic beamsplitter configured to direct electromagnetic radiation from a first spectrum along a first axis and to direct electromagnetic radiation from a second spectrum along a second axis. The system further includes a first image plane configured to receive the electromagnetic radiation from the first spectrum along the first axis to form a first image of the objects and a second image plane configured to receive the electromagnetic radiation from the second spectrum along the second axis to form a second image of the objects.
