SRON is responsible for building the camera for the X-IFU imaging spectrometer onboard the NewAthena X-ray space telescope. A latest Demonstration Model has now been successfully assembled in SRON’s cleanroom and is mounted into a cryogenic test setup which cools the detector stage to a temperature of 50 milliKelvin.

SRON and partners develop vibration damping for cold optics of the Einstein Telescope
SRON is part of a consortium that will develop vibration damping of cryogenically cooled optics for the future gravitational wave detector Einstein Telescope (ET). The collaboration has now received a grant of € 1.375.000 from the R&D scheme technology domains ET.
