    The Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) is an Earth orbiting satellite being developed as a joint European Space Agency (ESA) and Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) planetary science mission. The spacecraft is scheduled for launch in 2025 and equipped with complementing imaging instruments which will provide wide-field images with the goal of providing a more complete...

    Pyxel is a powerful end-to-end detector simulations framework with the aim of being reusable, reliable and help facilitate knowledge transfer between a wide range of related fields. To show how beneficial Pyxel can be, we present an investigation into the effect of Charge Transfer Inefficiency (CTI) on an irradiated CCD-273 device produced by Teledyne-e2v, the type of detector used for the...

    The China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) is a scientific space program that aims to deepen the comprehension of the time correlation between the main earthquake shocks and an increase in the electron flux in the inner Van Allen belt. For this purpose, the suite of payloads on board the second CSES satellite (CSES-02) consists of several detectors to measure: the particle flux and the...

    Talk

    For the upcoming European Space agency SMILE mission, launching in 2025, large-format soft X-ray optimised CCDs have been manufactured by Teledyne e2v, named the CCD370. The CCDs are approximately 8 cm x 8 cm, and are comprised of 4510 × 4510 18 µm pitch pixels, with a store shield covering approximately 6/7s of the active imaging area to facilitate frame-transfer operation mode. To optimise...
