Abstract The SIMBIO-SYS (Spectrometer and Imaging for MPO BepiColombo Integrated Observatory SYStem) is a complex instrument suite part of the scientific payload Mercury Planetary Orbiter mission, last cornerstone missions European Space Agency (ESA) Horizon + science program. will provide all imaging capability spacecraft. It consists three channels: STereo Channel (STC), with broad spectral band in 400-950 nm range medium spatial resolution (at best 58 m/px), that Digital Terrain Model...
Abstract The MAJIS (Moons And Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer) instrument on board the ESA JUICE (JUpiter ICy moon Explorer) mission is an imaging spectrometer operating in visible and near-infrared spectral range from 0.50 to 5.55 μm two channels with a boundary at 2.3 samplings for VISNIR IR better than 4 nm/band 7 nm/band, respectively. IFOV 150 μrad over total of 400 pixels. As already amply demonstrated by past present operative planetary space missions, this type can span wide scientific...
The Ma_MISS (Mars Multispectral Imager for Subsurface Studies) experiment is the visible and near infrared (VNIR) miniaturized spectrometer hosted by drill system of ExoMars 2020 rover. will perform IR spectral reflectance investigations in 0.4–2.2 μm range to characterize mineralogy excavated borehole walls at different depths (between 0 2 m). sampling about 20 nm, whereas spatial resolution over target 120 μm. Making use drill's movement, instrument slit can scan a ring build up...
The ExoMars programme, which is carried out by European Space Agency (ESA) in cooperation with the Russian federal (Roscosmos), foresees a two-steps mission to Mars. first consists of an orbiter and Entry Descent Landing Demonstrator Module (EDM) be launched January 2016 scheduled land on planet during statistical dust storm season; second includes descent module, surface platform rover will 2018. DREAMS (Dust characterization, Risk assessment Environment Analyser Martian Surface) experiment...

The SPectral IMager (SPIM) facility is a laboratory visible infrared spectrometer developed to support space borne observations of rocky bodies the solar system. Currently, this setup used DAWN mission, which in its journey towards asteroid 1-Ceres, and 2018 Exo-Mars mission spectral investigation Martian subsurface. main part an imaging that spare spectrometer. has been assembled calibrated at Selex ES then installed INAF-IAPS Rome. goal SPIM collect data build libraries for interpretation...
Before integration aboard European Space Agency BepiColombo mission to Mercury, the visible and near infrared hyperspectral imager underwent an intensive calibration campaign. We report in Paper I about radiometric linearity responses of instrument including optical setups used perform them. II [F. Altieri et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 88, 094503 (2017)] will describe complementary spectral response calibration. The responsivity is calculate expected instrumental signal-to-noise ratio for...
The Visible and near Infrared Hyperspectral Imager (VIHI) is the VIS-IR spectrometer with imaging capabilities aboard ESA BepiColombo mission to Mercury. In this second paper, we report instrument spectral characterization derived by calibration campaign carried out before spacecraft integration. Complementary measurements concerning radiometric linearity responses, as well geometric performances, are described in Paper I [G. Filacchione et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 88, 094502 (2017)]. We have...
The optical design of the Moons And Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer (MAJIS), is discussed. MAJIS a compact visible and near-infrared imaging spectrometer covering spectral range from 0.5 to 5.54 μm (split into two channels), designed for Icy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission. layout constituted by TMA telescope shared between channels, as well slit collimator, dichroic filter that splits light channels (VIS-NIR IR), each one endowed with its own grating, objective detector. A flat mirror mounted...
The STereo imaging Channel (STC) is the first push-frame stereo camera on board an European Space Agency (ESA) satellite, i.e., ESA-Japan Aerospace eXploration mission BepiColombo. It was launched in October 2018, and it will reach its target, Mercury, 2025. STC main aim to provide global three-dimensional reconstruction of Mercury surface. STC, channel spectrometer imagers for Planetary Orbiter BepiColombo-Integrated Observatory System, based original optical design that incorporates...
The International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG) formed two Gap Assessment teams to evaluate topic discipline areas that had not been worked at an international level date. Accordingly, the ISECG Technology Working (TWG) recommended based on Global Roadmap (GER) Critical Needs reflected within GER Development Map (GTDM): Dust Mitigation and LOX/Methane Propulsion, with this paper addressing former. approved teams, tasked TWG formulate new subject matter experts (SMEs) from...
MAJIS (Moons And Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer) is the VIS-IR imaging spectrometer of ESA/JUICE mission that will explore Jovian system. It covers spectral range 0.5 to 2.35 μm and 2.26 5.56 using two channels. The Optical Head (OH) consists in a TMA telescope shared between channels, as well slit collimator, then dichroic filter splits light each one being equipped with its own grating focusing lens. same type detector used for both spectrometers (apart from order sorting filter), 400 pixels...
