Analysis of Electric Sensor for Space Detectors: Mass Spectrometer, Particle Detector and CMOS/CCD Sensor

Abstract

As a matter of fact, with the participation of government agencies and the exploration of private enterprises, space exploration is undergoing rapid development as well as change in recent years. With this in mind, these trends will continue to promote human exploration and utilization of space, providing more opportunities for scientific research, commercial applications and exploration. In order to realize accuracy observation, high precision detectors are necessary to be developed and implemented. To be specific, a large number of electric sensors are applied on the space detectors, including mass spectrometer, particle detector as well as CMOS/CCD image sensor, etc. On this basis, this paper presents the principles, structures and applications of these three electric sensors in detail. According to the analysis, this study also analyzes the existing shortcomings of the state-of-art facilities as well as proposes future developments. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of space detectors.
