Launch plan in 2025
[투데이에너지 김병욱 기자] The NASA Future Space Observatory’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is set to launch in 2025 to explore other worlds similar to Earth.
The Roman telescope will carry two pieces of equipment. One is to study the mystery of the distribution of dark energy in the universe, and the other is the CoronaGraph Imager (CGI), the first dedicated camera for imaging alien planets in space. Inside the CGI, two high-sensitivity cameras with an electronic core developed jointly by ABB with Nüvü are installed.
“The Roman Telescope Mission is a $3.2 billion project and is 100 to 1000 times more powerful than the current terrestrial alien planet image capture,” said Marc Corriveau, head of measurement and analysis at ABB Canada. “A critical component for this groundbreaking mission. “We are very proud to supply our company and it is a very exciting project that requires ABB cutting-edge expertise to succeed.”
The contract with ABB is the successor to the order of GHGSAT, a private satellite observation company, and the contract is to supply a special optical sensor that can capture high-definition images of methane gas leaks on the ground.
ABB optical equipment has already accumulated over 90 years of reliable operation in outer space.
Meanwhile, ABB sensors are mounted on Japanese GOSAT No. 1 and No. 2 satellites and are closely monitoring the gradual increase in global greenhouse gases since 2009.
