| Popis: |
The Rockets for Extended-source X-ray Spectroscopy (tREXS) are a funded series of sounding rocket instruments to detect diffuse soft X-ray emission from astrophysical sources. The first launch of tREXS is scheduled for Q4 2021, with a goal to observe the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. tREXS house a four-channel grating spectrometer that uses passive, mechanical focusers, arrays of reflection gratings, and an extended focal plane based around Teledyne CIS 113 CMOS sensors. We present here an update on the instrument design, build, and calibrations in advance of the launch later this year. |
