Broadband near-infrared astronomical spectrometer calibration and on-sky validation with an electro-optic laser frequency comb
(2018-12-24)The quest for extrasolar planets and their characterization as well as studies of fundamental physics on cosmological scales rely on capabilities of high-resolution astronomical spectroscopy. A central requirement is a ... -
Challenges of the development of a compliant focus mechanism submitted to the harsh Martian environment for the ExoMars rover mission
(2020-01-14)The CLUPI (CLose-UP Imager) instrument is a high-resolution camera mounted onto the Drill of the ExoMars 2020 rover mission carried out by the European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos. The CLUPI development is under the ... -
Compliant mechanism based on additive manufacturing

Compliant mechanisms and space grade product redesign based on Additive Manufacturing
(2018)The use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes for space and terrestrial applications is a constantly growing topic of interest from the main actors in the industry. In the perspective of its future developments in the ... -
Compliant Mechanisms made by Additive manufacturing
(2020-01-14)Several compliant mechanisms have been completely redesigned for Additive Manufacturing (AM) and have allowed CSEM to develop an innovative concept. In addition to the new geometric possibilities offered by AM, the need ... -
Consistency between backscatter lidar products and visibility range
(2011-06-18)We present a consistency of the following values: the aerosol backscatter coefficient (ABC) and top of Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL), derived from backscatter lidar measurements from one side, and the visually determined ... -
COOLER: a louvered, passive radiator for Cubesats
(2021-09-20)Louvers are thermal control elements placed over external radiators to tune heat rejection from typically a factor 1 when fully closed to 5 when fully open. The most commonly used louver is a bimetallic, springactuated, ... -
Corner Cube Mechanism (CCM) For MTG IRS: Qualification and Acceptance Test Campaign Results and Lessons Learned
(2019-09-19)The Corner Cube Mechanism (CCM) of the Infra-Red Sounder (IRS) for the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellites completed an extensive qualification test campaign demonstrating the high-precision mechanism met stringent ... -
CSEM space lidars for imaging and rangefinding
(2018-07-22)Flash imaging LiDAR is recognized as a primary candidate sensor for several autonomous navigation phases such as for example, for safe precision landing on celestial bodies such as Mars or Jupiter and Saturn moons, and for ... -
Demonstration of mid-IR gas sensing with frequency-swept Fabry-Perot cavity quantum cascade laser
(2022-09-16)We demonstrate an innovative approach for a mid-IR gas sensing spectroscopy with a cost-effective commercial Fabry-Perot cavity quantum cascade laser. Using transient blue-chirped emission of such a laser, the spectral ...
