URAT1 is an observational, astrometric catalog covering most of the δ $\geqslant $− 15
area and a magnitude range of about R= 3–18.5. Accurate positions (typically 10–30 mas …

Real-time 3D ultrasound (RT3D) requires high data acquisition rates (DAR) to achieve fast
frame rates, wide fields of view and high resolution. Current state-of-the-art RT3D scanners …

The rapid evolution of commercial FPGAs and analog ICs has enabled the development of
Archon, a new modular high performance astronomical CCD controller. CCD outputs are …

We discuss the design, construction, and use of a new class of scanning camera that
eliminates a critical limitation of standard CCD drift-scan observations. A standard scan, which …

The Ocean Color Instrument (OCI) on NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem
mission is a hyperspectral imager with high SNR, precision and dynamic range, and with a …

Real-time, three-dimensional (RT3D) ultrasound allows video frame rate volumetric imaging.
The ability to acquire full three-dimensional (3-D) image data in real-time is particularly …

The Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) instrument selected to fly on the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) GOES-R Series environmental satellites has very …

The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomical Satellite (ULTRASAT) is a scientific UV space telescope
that will operate in geostationary orbit. The mission, targeted to launch in 2024, is led by …

A full-wafer, 10,580 × 10,560 pixel (95 × 95 mm) CCD was designed and tested at Semiconductor
Technology Associates (STA) with 9 μm square pixels and 16 outputs. The chip was …

We report on ongoing scientific CCD detector and control electronic developments at STA.
Recent astrometric and spectroscopic instruments are pushing for highly uniform pixel arrays. …
