Space Research Instrumentation 

LAP research and technology for space cover wide range of activities from initial design studies and computer models through electro-mechanical systems or mechanisms to advanced fast digital electronics and various detector technologies.  
 
 

Current Activities

MIRI Cryo-harness (JWST)

MIRI Contamination Control Cover (JWST)

EURECA Power Supply and Control (XEUS)

POLAR Hard X-ray polarimeter 
              (prototype, possible location Lobster-Eye ?)

LEED Low Energy Electron Detector (study and demonstration model tests, 
               possible location AlphaSat ?)

GRB-DB Data bank with all Gamma Ray Bursts detected by RHESSI satellite

Data banks with space radiation monitoring from IREM on INTEGRAL and 
SREM on PROBA1 can be found on the SREM web page

Data bank with space radiation data from REM monitor onboard MIR and STRV
satellites can be found on the REM web page
