  1. Space Science Institute

    The Space Science Institute SSI in Boulder, Colorado , is a nonprofit , public benefit corporation formed in 1992. Its purpose is to create and maintain an environment where scientific research and education programs can flourish in an integrated fashion. SSI s research program encompasses the following areas space physics , earth science , planetary science , and astrophysics . The flight operations branch manages the Cassini Huygens spacecraft s visible camera instrument and provides spectacular images of Saturn and its moons and rings to the public. SSI participates in mission operations and is home to the Cassini Imaging Central Laboratory for OPerations CICLOPS ref http www.ciclops.org CICLOPS ref . The primary goal of SSI is to bring together researchers and educators to improve science education. Toward this end, the institute acts as an umbrella for researchers who wish to be independent of universities. In addition, it works with educators directly to improve teaching methods for astronomy. SSI has also produced several traveling exhibits for science museums, including Electric Space, Mars Quest, and Alien Earths. It is currently producing Giant Worlds.

  1. ESA Space Debris Telescope

    The ESA Space Debris Telescope is located at the Teide Observatory on the island of Tenerife , Spain . The telescope is ESA s Optical Ground Station forming a part of the Artemis satellite Artemis experiment. As a large part of the observation time is dedicated to space debris surveys, in particular the observation of space debris in the geostationary ring and in geostationary transfer orbit s, the term ESA Space Debris Telescope became used very frequently. Space debris surveys are carried out every month, centered around New Moon. The telescope is a Ritchey Chr tien telescope with an aperture of 1 m and field of view of 0.7 degrees, equipped with a cryogenically cooled mosaic CCD Camera of 4k 4k pixels. The detection threshold is between 19th and 21st Apparent magnitude magnitude , which corresponds to a capability to detect space debris objects as small as 15 cm in the geostationary ring .

  1. Dark Energy Space Telescope

    The Dark Energy Space Telescope Destiny , was a planned project by NASA and United States Department of Energy DOE , designed to perform precision measurements of the universe to provide an understanding of dark energy . The space observatory will derive the expansion of the universe by measuring up to 3,000 distant supernova e each year of its three year mission lifetime, and will additionally study the structure of matter in the universe by measuring millions of Galaxy galaxies in a weak gravitational lensing survey. The Destiny spacecraft features an optical telescope with a 1.65m primary mirror. The telescope images infrared light onto an array of solid state detectors. The mission is designed to be deployed in a halo orbit about the sun earth L2 Lagrangian point . Destiny is currently in a two year study phase, which will refine its design and performance predictions in preparation for future approval for deployment. Should Destiny be approved, it could launch in 2013, with preliminary results produced within a year, and final results around 2017.

  1. Liquid mirror space telescope

    A liquid mirror space telescope is a concept for a type of reflecting space telescope which uses a reflecting liquid such as Mercury element mercury as its primary reflector. ref Citation title Liquid Mirror Telescopes journal American Scientist volume 95 year 2007 pages 216 223 author Paul Hickson ref There are several designs for such a telescope 1. Twirled Pail A pair of objects, one the mirror assembly and the other a counterweight possibly containing a camera assembly, are spun up to induce centripetal acceleration on the surface of the mirror assembly. 2. Half Toroid A hollow toroid torus a doughnut or spare tire shaped object is spun up to maintain centripetal acceleration against the inside wall. The camera assembly sits in the center. The torus width is arbitrarily large. Optional other pieces include a large flat mirror in the center to allow randomly orienting the mirror without frequently changing the axis of spin. 3. Balloon A balloon with a reflective liquid on the inside is spun up and it deforms itself into a parabolic shape. A flat mirror on the inside reflects light to the concave surface. Regardless of the specific configuration, such a telescope would be similar to an earth based liquid mirror telescope. However, instead of relying on Earth s gravity to maintain the necessary parabolic shape of the rotating mercury mirror, it relies on artificial gravity instead. Other possibilities for inducing a parabolic shape in the reflecting liquid include magnetic fields on a viscous and partially magnetic liquid internal pressures or surface tension effects on a reflective liquid creating the telescope while the reflective surface is liquid but depending on cooling effects to solidify the surface and then using that as the telescope main mirror. The concept is seen as an enabler of very large optical space telescopes, as a liquid mirror would be much lighter ... the propulsive acceleration method Category Telescope types observatory stub ja ...   more details
