Solar Mass Ejection Imager

Abstract

The University of Birmingham has designed, fabricated, qualified and calibrated the Solar Mass Ejection Imager to be flown on the Coriolis spacecraft. The hardware consists of three flight camera systems, plus a flight spare, and a complex data handling unit. The CCD camera was developed under subcontract by the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Chilton, UK. The SMEI has been thoroughly qualified to the requirements of the Coriolis mission. Each camera system has been optically calibrated to verify its performance.
