Description
SING is a near ultraviolet (NUV) spectrograph which operates in the wavelength range from 1400 Å to 2700 Å, with a spectral resolution of about 3 Å at 2000 Å. The spectrograph is intended to operate in low Earth orbit (LEO), with the primary goal to generate spectral maps of the regions of the sky covered within the field of view (FOV) of the instrument, constrained by the orbital inclination of the spacecraft. As the event rate in the UV is low, the spectrograph employs a photon-counting detector because of its low noise performance. SING on-board electronics consists of 4 subsystems- a photon counting detector based on Raspberry Pi 3, an on-board computer (OBC) based on an STM32 microcontroller, a power supply and a 1553B communication module. Here we will present the low-cost development of the four subsystems using COTS (commercial-off-the-shelf) components.
