Development and integration platform for astrophysics
The development and construction of space instruments is one of the strengths of the astrophysics department.
The AIM instrumentation team oversees the development of cutting-edge spectro-imaging instruments for space missions. Their activities encompass the overall management of instruments, the design and development of systems or subsystems (notably focal planes and their electronics), as well as the assembly, integration, verification, and testing of the developed systems. The team also conducts R&D research, particularly on new detectors.
