The Spanish and Russian WSO-UV teams meeting in Moscow

The Spanish and Russian WSO-UV teams met together in Moscow past 6th and 7th March 2018. The meeting was devoted to the startup activities of the Spanish contribution to the WSO-UV imager, the PDD detector of the Field Camera Unit.  The meeting was held at INASAN and IKI facilities in Moscow. The PDD development schedule and implementaiton plans were presented and discussed, aiming to better coordinate the different tasks carried out by SENER, the industrial supplier of the PDD, AEGORA/UCM, as scientific supervisors of these activities, and INASAN and IKI, as Russian responsibles for the overall WSO-UV project and instrumentation.

Proposal for using future Deep Space Gateway to deploy a cubesat UV Telescope

The AEGORA team presented on 5th December 2017 a proposal for using the Deep Space Gateway for UV exploration, during the Deep Space Gateway Workshop held at ESTEC (European Space Agency,  Noordwijk, Netherlands) . This proposal is based on the deployment of a UV telescope integrated inside a 8U cubesat.  The project aims to determine the distribution of neutral gas in the Earth exosphere and to observe the surface of the moon in UV range, sharing many synergies with other ongoing UV projects, such as WSO-UV mission or studies for UV facilities such as LUVOIR/POLLUX or CETUS.
