Title………. The SCF_Lab and its Laser Retroreflectors for the Solar System
Abstract:
The SCF_Lab is a space infrastructure built by INFN-LNF for its space research programs and AIT/AIV activities. The laboratory is a 85-sq.m. class 10,000 clean room (ISO 7) and is operational with the SCF and the SCF-G OGSEs.
Recent SCF_Lab achievements include amongst the other: • INRRI-EDM/2016 - the first laser retroreflector payload (to be deployed) on Mars. • Thermo-optical characterisation in simulated relevant space conditions of ESA CCR tray part of Galileo-IOV hardware. • Thermo-optical characterisation in simulated relevant space conditions of ISRO-LEOS CCR tray belonging to IRNSS satellite constellation.
