Software Engineering Missions

MSSL is leading the team providing the Panoramic Stereo Cameras for ESA's Exomars Rover Rosalind Franklin.

MSSL provided for NIRSpec: the CAA (onboard calibration assembly), the CLS (ground calibration source), SHD (ground optical alignment system).

MSSL produced products and Algorithms Definition for Level 2 non-ocean altimetry

Investigations into the use of L3CCDs for the GAIA-RVS instrument and Data Processing Chains for Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) 2013

Deriving new Sea Ice Dynamics data products from ASAR data

Virtual observatory technology applied to particle physics databases

Mission performance simulation, Data Processing Chains, Expert Support to ESA, QA of Processing and Data Products

MSSL leads the consortium that built and operates the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) which provides plasma diagnostics in the solar chromosphere, transition region and corona. 2006

Development of the SWIFT UVOT detector system. The UVOT was designed, built, and is currently supported in orbit by a team at MSSL. 2004

Envisat RA-2 sensor performance and non-ocean measurement monitoring service with Expert Support Laboratory for RA2 Level-2 Ice Processing and Operational performance monitoring and QA

MSSL is involved in two XMM-Newton instruments: the OM and RGS. This page gives information about the OM serendipitous source catalogue, XMM-SUSS, a joint project between MSSL and ESAC.

MSSL has contributed to the creation of historical Earth Albedo products
