The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, through the astronomy
and astrophysics sections of the School of Cosmic Physics, has
participated in almost all Irish space science research activities going
back to a collaboration with the University of Berkley in NASA's
Apollo programme. This lead to a collaboration with the European
Space Agency's technology centre, ESTEC, to build a large passive
experiment for NASA's Long Duration Exposure Facility mission.
More recently DIAS helped construct the digital electronics for the
Irish EPONA experiment on the European GIOTTO mission to comet
Halley, as well as related experiments on the Soviet PHOBOS mission
to Mars and its moons, and has just completed work for the optical
monitoring camera on the European INTEGRAL gamma-ray
astronomy mission. In addition to this hardware involvement, the
Institute has participated in software development for the Infrared
Space Observatory mission and has participated scientifically in a
number of other missions as well as ESA committees, most recently
the working group on space weather.
Expertise:
General astronomy and space science, Analysis software, Digital electronics.
