More space insight
RIT, Kiruna, 2016-05-11
Johan Riesbeck
• Developing and manufacturing high performance electronics hardware for satellites and ground based astronomy
• 35 engineers between B.Sc to Ph.D. • Founded in 1992, delivered space
flight hardware to Odin, SMART-1, SMILES and PRISMA
• User specific projects– Satellite borne instruments– Ground Based Astronomy– Research/Demonstrator Projects
• Private, independent, self-financed SME
Omnisys Instruments
• Company founded in 1992• First major assignment ODIN project
– spectrometer and phase lock system• Continuous development programs with ESA
– First contract 1993• 1998-2001: SMART-1 satellite• Self financed growth to 32 employees• More and more ”established” as Swedish space/research SME• 2007 Alma contract for 60 Radiometers
– 2010 Successfully delivered• 2011 Omnisys prime contractor for STEAMR• 2014 Flight contract for SWI on JUICE• 2015 Flight contract for Airbus• 2016 Flight contract for HABIT
History
• Launched in 2001– Mission planned for 2 years– Still up and running
• Omnisys hardware: – Back-end autocorrelation spectrometer– Local oscillator incl. phase lock system– Filterbank spectrometer– Radiometer control hardware– Radiometer system validation SW
• Unique benefits– Astonomy ant atmospheric
observations– Ozon since 2001– H2O in interstellar space– 300 peer review articles– Made in Sweden
ODIN Radiometer
• Swedish led formation flying mission• Launched this summer• Omnisys delivered PCDU for main and target
satellites in 2008• Key data of the Main PCDU:
– Solar array power: 600 W – Number of users (LCL): 36 – User power: 28 V regulated– Battery Energy: > 250 Wh – Control interface: CAN bus and pulse
telecommands.
PRISMA PCDU:s
• Scope of project is to design and produce 58 complete 183 GHz water vapor radiometers for the ALMA telescope in Chile
• 18 month development & 18 month production time
• Strict performance requirements– stability, sensitivity, accuracy, optical– 20 years lifetime&no maintenance– Limited volume, mass & power
• Repeatable manufacturing & verification• 3 customers
– ALMA, ESO, end users
Alma Water Vapour Radiometers
• Limb sounding @340 GHz– Array receiver -14 beams– Optimized for upper troposphere –
down to 6km• Research profile
– Climate Change– Stratospheric/Tropospheric
exchange– Ozone changes– Water Vapor - Uncertainty of clouds
• Deselected for EE7, now in joint SWE/CAN phase A study
STEAMR - PREMIER
• SWI – submm-wave instrument on JUICE (JUpiter Icy moon Explorer)– ”Chemistry, meteorology and
structure of Jupiter’s middle atmosphere”
– ”Characterize atmospheres, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto - exploration of their habitable zones
• Two receivers on 600 GHz (or 600 GHz & 1200 GHz)
• Omnisys scope – Mixers and LNA:s– Correlator back-end (ACS)
JUICE/SWI
• Mesospheric Airglow/Aerosol Tomography– tomografi av luftsken och
aerosoller i mesosfären• Vetenskapen drivs av Stockholms
universitet, Chalmers och KTH• Omnisys bygger instrumentet
som studerar– Nattlysande moln– Syremolekyler i atmosfären
mellan 5 och 10 mil upp i luften– Vågor som skapar molnens form
• UV/IR kamera med 2+2 kanaler
MATS
• Omnisys builds complete systems and subsystems• Critical components are subject to research collaborations:
– Schottky mixers and multipliers >200 GHz– mHEMT/INP MMIC up to 200 GHz– Custom Design Signal processing chips (Full custom ASIC:s)
• Scientific partners– Users
• Earth & Space Science, Chalmers– Technology
• Chalmers– Microtechnology & Nanoscience (Chalmers)– Signals & Systems (Chalmers)– Computer Science (Chalmers)
• IAF, Germany• Joint activities
– National scientific clusters, FP7/H2020 projects, joint ESA projects, industrial PhD:s
The team - Omnisys and Academy
• Collaboration with Academy• End-user scientists who wants to develop instruments together with
industry.• Early involvement of industry in instrument development => maximize
scientific output• Collaboration between end-user scientists and technology development
research.
Industry Needs
• Terahertz components, signal processing, antenna systems.• Thermal solutions and composite structures.• Optical test and verification methods• Electro-chemical processes.• ?
