摘要
Jet Propulsion Laboratory is developing a Europa Lander astrobiology mission concept to search for biosignatures within Europa's subsurface. However, Europa's rugged terrain presents a number of physical hazards for landing. MIT Lincoln Laboratory is designing a radiation-hardened real-time direct-detection LIDAR system at 532nm to aid with autonomous hazard avoidance and landing site selection for this Europa Lander concept. The detector for this system is a 2048x32 array of silicon Geiger-mode APDs and covers the required field-of-view in one dimension, removing the need for 2D stitching and enabling real-time data processing. Detector design, improvements for radiation tolerance and component characterization results are presented.
