High-altitude ballooning programme at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics

Akshata Nayak; Sreejith, A. G; Safonova, M; Murthy, J (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2013-03-25)

Recent advances in balloons and in electronics have made possible scientific payloads at costs accessible to university departments. The primary purpose of high-altitude ballooning programme is to test low-cost ultraviolet ...
Near UV imager with an MCP-based photon counting detector

Ambily, S; Mathew, J; Mayuresh, Sarpotdar; Sreejith, A. G; Nirmal, K; Prakash, A; Safonova, M; Murthy, J (SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2016-07)

We are developing a compact UV Imager using light weight components, that can be own on a small CubeSat or a balloon platform. The system has a lens-based optics that can provide an aberration-free image over a wide field ...
PIONS: a CubeSat imager to observe variable UV sources

Ambily, S; Mathew, J; Sarpotdar, Mayuresh; Murthy, J; Aggarval, V. K; Nagabhushanam, S; Rao, Divya A; Jeeragal, Sachin; Nirmal, K; Sreejith, A. G; Binukumar, G; Safonova, M (SPIE - Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2018-07)

The Pesit/IIA Observatory for the Night Sky(PIONS) is a near UV imaging telescope to be flown on a small satellite. The instrument is a 150mm RC telescope that covers a wavelength range of 180-280 nm. We are using an ...
