Abstract

This paper will show a very precise and easier concept to align CCD sensor packages out of an extremely stiff and precise machined SiC based composite material called HB-Cesic to assemble numerous sensors on a focal plane with micron precision. The focal plane structure will be from the same ceramic material therefore, the complete focal plane assembly will be manufactured out of a single material having a very low CTE with high thermal conductivity. Such assembly can be scaled from Cubesats like 6U up to very large scaled focal plane assemblies (FPA) like 1 x 1m for ground-based applications to allow super precise alignments and high camera resolution.
