Title:
High‑performance cooling system for low‑flux imaging detector
Agreement Number:
20STDPL14
Agreement Value:
$250,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jul 8, 2020 - Apr 30, 2022
Description:
Although night environmental conditions can be extreme and fluctuate drastically compared to daytime conditions, for an observation planned months in advance, everything must perform at the expected time.
Up to now, Canada has been ahead of the curve with its unrivalled capability in ultra-sensitive imaging thanks to the Nüvü Cameras and this work will expand its ability to support detectors under difficult conditions.
The project will enhance the opportunity for Canadian imaging technology to be considered in future terrestrial solutions to detect and track space debris or demonstrate the optimal performance of the technology in stratospheric balloon and observatory tests, an important feature for being included in future space exploration and surveillance missions.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
