Destiny is a simple, direct, low cost mission to determine the properties of dark energy by obtaining a cosmologically deep supernova (SN) type Ia Hubble diagram. Its science instrument is a 1.65m space telescope, featuring a grism-fed near-infrared (NIR) (0.85-1.7 m) survey camera/spectrometer with a 0.12 square degree field of view (FOV) covered by a mosaic of 16 2k 2k HgCdTe arrays. For maxi...
