Development Of Next-Generation X-ray Instrumentation For Space And Planetary Science (Phase 2)
RoleStart dateEnd dateFunding source
Co-investigator01 Mar 202431 Mar 2025UKSA UK Space Agency

This is phase 2 of the initial 4 month's funding to determine the instrument requirements and preliminary system design for the AXIS instrument camera, which will be flown on the ISRO DISHA mission. In this phase, the work performed will aim to characterise and calibrate an EM camera developed by XCAM and with detectors from Teledyne e2v. An EM camera system will also be delivered to ISRO along with training on its operation. The UK Science team will also be developed by project partners at UCL/MSSL. The reporting to UKSA, export control documentation/compliance, liaising with XCAM, Teledyne e2v and international partners means there is requirement from the agency for appropriate project management support to be included in the bid. Project lead: Chiaki Crews PDRA: TBC
