Abstract

MAMA detector systems are under development for flight in the high-resolution EUV spectroheliometer sounding rocket instrument and in the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Hubble space telescope imaging spectrograph. Visible-light versions of the detector systems are also being evaluated at ground-based telescopes in a number of programs of speckle interferometry and speckle image reconstruction. In this paper the performance characteristics of the latest versions of the MAMA detector systems are summarized and the prospects for further significant improvements to the MAMA detector systems are outlined.
