Design of the calibration bench for the characterization of MAJIS/JUICE VIS-NIR detectors
Abstract
The MAJIS (Moons And Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer) instrument is part of the science payload of the ESA L-Class mission JUICE (Jupiter ICy Moons Explorer) to be launched in 2022 and arrival at Jupiter in 2030. The instrument and in particular its detectors need to be characterized in the laboratory before being calibrated at instrument level. Here we present the work that will be carried out at IASB-BIRA and ROB in order to fully characterize and calibrate the VIS-NIR detectors of MAJIS, both at spare mode as at flight mode, focused in the calibration bench design. The facility should be validated at the beginning of 2019.
