The HAWAII detector is an array of HgCdTe photodiodes whose junction capacity collects a charge proportional to the number of photons that they receive. ... The array detector is read by an electronic system based on the controller developed by the CCD Working Group of TNG, modified to speed up the read-out time, and on a fast 16 bit conversion board (2 Mb/s). ... The signal read on each pixels is buffered by electronics located on the same board that hosts the detector. ...

Next: Mission Element Points-of-Contact . Previous: Mission Operations Data Transfer . ... Each mission element should ensure that their contact information remains current and notify the RSOG of any changes. ... Non-RSOG mission elements will also use the "dit" list to notify the RSOG (and all other mission elements) of unexpected events that may impact operations elsewhere, e.g., if a tracking station discovers that the spacecraft is in an unexpected configuration. ...
