Development of optical payloads for micro-satellites for Earth observation from low orbits.

Magnetograph for SUNRISE. IMaX (Imaging Magnetograph eXperiment) is one of the postfocal instruments for the SUNRISE experiment. After two succesful flights, SUNRISE 3 is now under development, again with the participation of IAC.

Built by IAC in collaboration with the Royal Greenwich Observatory (RGO) and the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes (ING). The aim was to develop a two-dimensional fibre optic spectroscopy system for the William Herschel telescope at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos.

The basic objective of the broject is to investigate the evolution of galaxies by deepening our understanding of the interaction between the insterstellar medium and the stars.The main technique which

The aim of this project is to create a sodium Laser Guide Star (LGS) using the 1m telescope OGS and a sodium dye laser. LGSs are needed by the Adaptive Optics systems in all the large telescopes, to increase their sky coverage for high spatial resolution science.

The LIFEM laboratory (Laboratory for Integrated Photonics, Opto-Electronics and Opto-Mechanics Fotonics) will provide IACTEC new headquarters with the technical infrastructure required to support
