Environmental Test Campaigns of the Focal Plane Assembly for PLATO Mission at INTA

In 30 seconds

A dedicated verification strategy was developed to manage the high-rate production of 29 flight-model focal plane assemblies for the PLATO mission. The campaign utilizes multiple, early qualification phases to streamline the final acceptance process for each individual telescope unit. This methodology ensures the reliability of the entire 26-camera array required for high-precision photometric exoplanet detection.
