NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Detector Systems Branch
builds and characterizes a wide range of products from single
custom detectors to entire instruments for NASA, other
government agencies, universities, and industry. These
detectors span the entire electromagnetic spectrum from the
millimeter to cosmic rays. In addition, the Branch fabricates
and tests Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) and
Nanotechnology components. Our detectors can be found on
NASA's spacecraft, aircraft, balloons, and rockets, as well
as on Earth-based telescopes.
