This development covers the transition of the Enfys pencil beam spectrometer from breadboard to flight-qualified hardware for the Rosalind Franklin rover. Key technical achievements include the miniaturization of a Cassegrain telescope and the development of specialized dark coatings to manage stray light in the NIR and SWIR bands. These solutions ensure the instrument's performance within the constraints of the Martian environmental specification.
