El equipo de IACTEC-Espacio , la división del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) dedicada al desarrollo de tecnología espacial, participa esta semana como expositor en el Small Satellites & Services International Forum (SSSIF) 2025, celebrado en Málaga, consolidando su posición como referente en el sector espacial español. El evento, clave para la industria de pequeños satélites, está sirviendo de plataforma para presentar proyectos innovadores y establecer colaboraciones estratégicas en especial sobre los proyectos DRAGO, los instrumentos canarios con capacidad de detectar imágenes

The team led by Claudia Gutiérrez from the ICE-CSIC and IEEC has used the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT), at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory, of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), in La Palma. The CSS161010 burst reached its maximum brightness in just 4 days in a small galaxy 500 million light-years away from us. An international scientific team, led by the Institute of Space Studies of Catalonia (IEEC) and the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE-CSIC), has managed to detect an exceptionally fast and bright cosmic burst in a small

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has successfully completed the integration of the scientific detector into the FRIDA (inFRared Imager and Dissector for Adaptive Optics) instrument, an integra-field camera and spectrograph designed to work with the adaptive optics system of the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC or Grantecan), the world's largest optical and infrared telescope, located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in La Palma. The integration was carried out in the laboratories of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in Mexico City by a team from the IAC
