A Primer for Telemetry Interfacing in Accordance with NASA Standards Using Low Cost FPGAs
Jake A. McCoy, Ted B. Schultz, James H. Tutt +3
Photon counting detector systems on sounding rocket payloads often require interfacing asynchronous outputs with a synchronously clocked telemetry (TM) stream. Though this can be h…
Fabrication of astronomical x-ray reflection gratings using thermally activated selective topography equilibration
Jake A. McCoy, Randall L. McEntaffer, Chad M. Eichfeld
Thermally activated selective topography equilibration (TASTE) enables the creation of 3D structures in resist using grayscale electron-beam lithography followed by a thermal treat…
REX: X-ray experiment on the Water Recovery Rocket
Martin Urban, Ondrej Nentvich, Tomas Baca +10
This paper presents Rocket Experiment (REX) that was part of a dual payload rocket campaign for NASA's sounding rocket Black Brant IX with water recovery technology. This mission w…
Performance Testing of a Large-Format Reflection Grating Prototype for a Suborbital Rocket Payload
Benjamin D. Donovan, Randall L. McEntaffer, Casey T. DeRoo +8
The soft X-ray grating spectrometer on board the Off-plane Grating Rocket Experiment (OGRE) hopes to achieve the highest resolution soft X-ray spectrum of an astrophysical object w…
Limiting Spectral Resolution of a Reflection Grating Made via Electron-Beam Lithography
Casey T. DeRoo, Jared Termini, Fabien Grise +3
Gratings enable dispersive spectroscopy from the X-ray to the optical, and feature prominently in proposed flagships and SmallSats alike. The exacting performance requirements of t…
Extreme Ultraviolet and Soft X-Ray Diffraction Efficiency of a Blazed Reflection Grating Fabricated by Thermally Activated Selective Topography Equilibration
Jake A. McCoy, Randall L. McEntaffer, Drew M. Miles
Future observatories utilizing reflection grating spectrometers for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray (SXR) spectroscopy require high-fidelity gratings with both blazed groo…
