An Artist's concept of the Mars Express Spacecraft at Mars/ESA
A breadboard of the SPICAM Instrument
The SPICAM instrument has two channels, one in the ultraviolet wavelength range (118-320 nanometers) (SUV) and another in the near infrared wavelength range (1.1-1.7 micrometers) (SIR) . The instrument has a spectral resolution of 0.8 nm/pix at 1.5μ and is composed of an entrance lens, an AOTF and two single pixels detectors (for each polarization). As the AOTF acts as a filter, the IR & UV spectrum is obtained by electrically scanning the AOTF frequency.
