Technology demonstration missions
| Deployment of Proba-2 towards the sun. On board are two solar observation experiments. SWAP is an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) telescope, using new pixel sensor technology (APS), that will make measurements of the solar corona in a very narrow band With Centre Spatial de Liège as lead institute supported by the Royal Observatory of Belgium and with an industrial team comprising ALCATEL Lucent (B), AMOS S.A (B), DELTATEC (B), Fill Factory N.V (B) and OIP N.V (B).
The Lyman-Alpha radiator (LYRA) will monitor four bands in a very wide ultraviolet spectrum, with Centre Spatial de Liège as lead institute supported by the Royal Observatory of Belgium as scientific leader and with an international team comprising PMOD (CH), IMOMEC (B), BISA (B).
