INSTRUMENTS FOR SCIENCE MISSIONS

At ASRO, we’re driven by a mission to enhance scientific discovery through innovative instrument design. Our work extends to a broad array of science missions, from atmospheric monitoring and particle detection to solar and heliospheric study. 

Solution

We offer customized solutions for science missions. Our comprehensive services include designing, testing, calibration, and electronics development for a variety of instruments. We’re proud of our contributions to key projects, such as the ALTIUS mission, BepiColombo’s SIXS instrument, and ERNE on Solar and Heliospheric Observatory.

ALTIUS

ASRO leads the consortium for Phase B2/C/D of the Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI) Filter development in the Atmospheric Limb Tracker for Investigation of the Upcoming Stratosphere (ALTIUS) mission.

BepiColombo / SIXS-P

We were integral in designing, testing, and calibrating the particle detector of the Solar Intensity X-ray and Particle Spectrometer (SIXS) on the BepiColombo Planetary Orbiter studying Mercury.

International Space Station / AMS

ASRO provided software for the ground support equipment of the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) module on the ISS.

EPT

ASRO designed and processed silicon detectors for the Energetic Particle Telescope, in cooperation with the University of Turku.

Solar Orbiter / LET

We developed readout electronics, including FPGA, for the demonstration model of the Low Energy Telescope particle detector on ESA’s Solar Orbiter.

Solar and Heliospheric Observatory / ERNE

Founders of ASRO played a pivotal role in developing the Energetic and Relativistic Nuclei and Electron (ERNE) particle detector on the SOHO space probe, a joint ESA and NASA research program. SOHO and ERNE are still in operation, and this successful research program has already continued for over 20 years.
