Περίληψη:
This paper presents the recent achievements in the development of
ASPIICS (Association of Spacecraft for Polarimetric and Imaging
Investigation of the Corona of the Sun), a solar coronagraph that is the
primary payload of ESA's formation flying in-orbit demonstration mission
PROBA-3. The PROBA-3 Coronagraph System is designed as a classical
externally occulted Lyot coronagraph but it takes advantage of the
opportunity to place the 1.4 meter wide external occulter on a companion
spacecraft, about 150m apart, to perform high resolution imaging of the
inner corona of the Sun as close as similar to 1.1 solar radii. Besides
providing scientific data, ASPIICS is also equipped with sensors for
providing relevant navigation data to the Formation Flying GNC system.
This paper is reviewing the recent development status of the ASPIICS
instrument as it passed CDR, following detailed design of all the
sub-systems and testing of STM and various Breadboard models.
ASPIICS is built by a large European consortium including about 20
partners from 7 countries under the auspices of the European Space
Agency.
