Get updated on the progress in the opto-mechanical design of Japanese-led Focal Plane Instruments featuring MIRACLE, MIRMES, and MIRHES. The 1st version of the optical design is completed, with the estimated total mass & volume. The 2nd version of optics is now under investigation for a more compact design. Learn about the new pick-off location strategies and the no-pickoff mirror compact optical design in the vertical-oriented housing. Stay informed about the new SCI design and Field-of-Views updates as of March 11th, 2010, along with the ongoing study on the IOB & FPI structure. Stay tuned for upcoming updates on the MIRACLE optics and pick-off improvements.
