Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CHELMSFORD, UK, Oct. 26, 2010 — The European Space Agency (ESA) has awarded e2v Technologies plc a contract to develop a new CCD imaging sensor for the Euclid space science mission. The aim of the mission, through the Euclid visible channel instrument, is to map and survey the shapes of galaxies to investigate the geometry of the dark universe through weak gravitational lensing. Weak gravitational lensing requires extremely high image quality to measure the true distortions of light via gravity. The company’s image sensors will form the visible focal plane array in the Euclid space telescope. The CCDs will be...Read full article
