Abstract
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology-led NASA Explorer-class mission planned to spend 2 years discovering transiting exoplanets by an all-sky survey. The observatory contains four wide field-of-view camera systems for a total of 16.8 Megapixel, low-noise, low-power CCD detectors. Now over 5 years beyond its launch date and 10 years after the CCD design tape out, we report on our approach for managing camera system development, with particular emphasis on the design, fabrication, and testing of the silicon detectors, developed on 200-mm high-resistivity wafer substrates. Finally, we present implications of the CCD manufacture observed in the on-orbit performance.
期刊介绍：
Astronomische Nachrichten, founded in 1821 by H. C. Schumacher, is the oldest astronomical journal worldwide still being published. Famous astronomical discoveries and important papers on astronomy and astrophysics published in more than 300 volumes of the journal give an outstanding representation of the progress of astronomical research over the last 180 years. Today, Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten publishes articles in the field of observational and theoretical astrophysics and related topics in solar-system and solar physics. Additional, papers on astronomical instrumentation ground-based and space-based as well as papers about numerical astrophysical techniques and supercomputer modelling are covered. Papers can be completed by short video sequences in the electronic version. Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten also publishes special issues of meeting proceedings.
