Contamination Control of the SABER Cryogenic Infrared Telescope
The SABER instrument (Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Spectroscopy) is a cryogenic infrared sensor on the TIMED spacecraft with stringent molecular and particulate contamination control requirements. The sensor measures infrared emissions from atmospheric constituents in the earth limb at altitudes ranging from 60 to 180 km using radiatively-cooled 240 K optics and a mechani...
متن کاملImaging performance of telescope mirrors for far-ultraviolet astronomy.
We describe image testing, surface metrology, and modeling of telescope mirrors (0.5 m in diameter, f/4.3) for the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite. Laboratory image testing of wavelengths in the visible, vacuum, and midultraviolet validated a theoretical analysis by use of the Optical Surface Analysis Code (OSAC). Our modeling is based on surface metrology, including mea...
متن کاملCryogenic telescope on the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS)
R. H. White Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 91109 Abstract. The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS)* has completed an unbiased all -sky survey at wavelengths from 10 to 100 μm. The design and performance of the focal plane array is described with emphasis on in -orbit measurements of the sensitivity and stability. In the four broad spectral b...
متن کاملThe space cryogenic submillimeter telescope based on hot
Extremely sensitive detectors are necessary for deep full-sky survey of distant extragalactic sources in the submillimeter-wave region by the cryogenically cooled telescope at the International Space Station (project Submillimetron). Detection of faint sources needs wide-band continuum observation using direct detectors (bolometers) not restricted by the quantum noise of indirect heterodyne rec...
متن کاملMicroscopic surface structure of C/SiC composite mirrors for space cryogenic telescopes.
We report on the microscopic surface structure of carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) composite mirrors that have been improved for the Space Infrared Telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) and other cooled telescopes. The C/SiC composite consists of carbon fiber, silicon carbide, and residual silicon. Specific microscopic structures are found on the surface of the bare C/...
