Euclid. II. The VIS Instrument
Euclid Collaboration, M. S. Cropper, A. Al-Bahlawan +432
This paper presents the specification, design, and development of the Visible Camera (VIS) on the ESA Euclid mission. VIS is a large optical-band imager with a field of view of 0.5…
Effect of boundary conditions on a high-performance isolation hexapod platform
Alessandro Stabile, Vladimir V. Yotov, Guglielmo S. Aglietti +2
Isolation of spacecraft microvibrations is essential for the successful deployment of instruments relying on high-precision pointing. Hexapod platforms represent a promising soluti…
Digging supplementary buried channels: investigating the notch architecture within the CCD pixels on ESA's Gaia satellite
G. M. Seabroke, T. Prod'homme, N. J. Murray +5
The European Space Agency (ESA) Gaia satellite has 106 CCD image sensors which will suffer from increased charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) as a result of radiation damage. To aid…
Investigating operation of the Internet in orbit: Five years of collaboration around CLEO
Lloyd Wood, Will Ivancic, Wes Eddy +3
The Cisco router in Low Earth Orbit (CLEO) was launched into space as an experimental secondary payload onboard the UK Disaster Monitoring Constellation (UK-DMC) satellite in Septe…
Taking Saratoga from Space-Based Ground Sensors to Ground-Based Space Sensors
Lloyd Wood, Charles Smith, Wesley M. Eddy +2
The Saratoga transfer protocol was developed by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) for its Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) satellites. In over seven years of operation,…
Modelling Gaia CCD pixels with Silvaco 3D engineering software
G. M. Seabroke, T. Prod'homme, G. Hopkinson +3
Gaia will only achieve its unprecedented measurement accuracy requirements with detailed calibration and correction for radiation damage. We present our Silvaco 3D engineering soft…
