Institutes• Royal Observatory of Belgium (Brussels, BE)
Principal Investigator, overall design, onboard software specification, science operations
• PMOD/WRC (Davos, CH)Lead Co-Investigator, overall design and manufacture
• Centre Spatial de Liège (BE)Lead institute, project management, filters
• IMOMEC (Hasselt, BE)Diamond detectors
• Max-Planck-Institut für Sonnensystemforschung (Lindau DE)Calibration
• science Co-Is: BISA (Brussels, BE), LPC2E (Orléans, FR)…
• Measurement: Solar irradiance in four UV to XUV channels:“Herzberg”, “Lyman-alpha”, “Aluminum”, “Zirconium”
• Science: Solar flares, space weather services, aeronomy (atmospheric occultations & input to climate models)
• Technological First: diamond UV detectors for astrophysics• And also: high cadence (> 20Hz), 3 redundant units, 24 LEDs, synchrotron calibration
LYRAthe Large Yield RAdiometer 1/3
Introduction
Exploded view of one of the 3 identical LYRA units
A diamond detector Calibrating LYRA at the Berlin synchrotron
LYRA integrated on PROBA2
PRODEX
• 2 Nov. 2009: PROBA2 launch• 16 Nov. 2009: 1st LYRA “Switch On”• Dec. 2009: dark and LED data• 5 & 6 Jan. 2010: unlock all 3 covers• 6 Jan. 2010: First Light for all 3 units
