The assembly, characterization, and performance of SISTINE
Nicholas Nell, Kevin France, Nicholas Kruczek +6
The Suborbital Imaging Spectrograph for Transition region Irradiance from Nearby Exoplanet host stars (SISTINE) is a rocket-borne ultraviolet (UV) imaging spectrograph designed to…
FLUID: A rocket-borne pathfinder instrument for high efficiency UV band selection imaging
Nicholas Nell, Nicholas Kruczek, Kevin France +3
The Far- and Lyman-Ultraviolet Imaging Demonstrator (FLUID) is a rocket-borne arcsecond-level ultraviolet (UV) imaging instrument covering four bands between 92 -- 193 nm. FLUID wi…
High Efficiency Echelle Gratings for the Far Ultraviolet
Nicholas Kruczek, Drew M. Miles, Brian Fleming +4
Modern grating manufacturing techniques suffer from inherent issues that limit their peak efficiencies. The anisotropic etching of silicon facilitates the creation of custom gratin…
Generating Electron Beam Lithography Write Parameters from the FORTIS Holographic Grating Solution
Mackenzie Carlson, Stephan McCandliss, Randall McEntaffer +3
The Far-UV Off Rowland-circle Telescope for Imaging and Spectroscopy (FORTIS) has been successful in maturing technologies for carrying out multi-object spectroscopy in the far-UV,…
Advanced Environmentally Resistant Lithium Fluoride Mirror Coatings for the Next-Generation of Broadband Space Observatories
Brian Fleming, Manuel Quijada, John Hennessy +7
Recent advances in the physical vapor deposition (PVD) of protective fluoride films have raised the far-ultraviolet (FUV: 912-1600 Å) reflectivity of aluminum-based mirrors closer…
The re-flight of the Colorado high-resolution Echelle stellar spectrograph (CHESS): improvements, calibrations, and post-flight results
Keri Hoadley, Kevin France, Nicholas Kruczek +7
In this proceeding, we describe the scientific motivation and technical development of the Colorado High-resolution Echelle Stellar Spectrograph (CHESS), focusing on the hardware a…
