Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), in close collaboration with SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research and LongWave Photonics LLC, have achieved a breakthrough in terahertz spectroscopy—a vital technology to study galaxies, stars, and planetary formation. They created a centimeter-sized, lightweight terahertz spectrometer that could replace traditional half-meter-sized, bulky, and heavy spectrometers in … Continued

After a record-breaking 57 days, 7 hours and 38 minutes, NASA’s balloon telescope GUSTO completed its flight above Antarctica by landing on the ice by parachute. The mission was designed to last 55 days. GUSTO has observed atomic clouds in our own galaxy and its nearest neighbor with far-infrared cameras, developed by SRON and TU … Continued
NASA’s GUSTO balloon observatory has arrived on Antarctica onboard the Wallops C-130 airplane. It is scheduled for launch around the 15th of December. GUSTO is equipped with three 8-pixel far-infrared cameras delivered by SRON and TU Delft and will carry out the first large-scale survey with velocity-resolved imaging of the spectral lines emitted by three … Continued
