摘要
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) is 6U CubeSat whose mission will be to observe low-mass stars in two ultraviolet (UV) bands. SPARCS will provide time-dependent spectral slope, intensity, and evolution of stellar radiation with the goal of understanding the short- and long-term variability of these targets. Here we summarize the performance of SPARCam, the science camera for SPARCS. SPARCam is a two-detector camera system allowing independent commanding of two delta-doped, UV CCD47-20 detectors, separately optimized for the SPARCS near UV (NUV) and far UV (FUV) bands. The manuscript includes an overview of the UV detectors optimization and performance as well as a brief description of the camera electronics. SPARCam was developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and delivered to Arizona State University in October 2023.
