Survey of manufacturing capabilities for small-pixel UV images for the Lunar Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (LUTE)

摘要

The first objective was the completion of strawman LUTE (Lunar Ultraviolet Transit Experiment) CCD (charge coupled device) of approximately 25 x 7 mm format, for feasibility evaluation. The completed design, in the desired 5 micron pixel size for LUTE, is a TDI drift-scan imager with a single readout port. The second objective was the evaluation of potential domestic suppliers for small pixel imagers in this large format.
