The four infrared filters installed in the NISP instrument with diameters of four centimeters in the foreground, as well as eight and fourteen centimeters in the background. With over 300 grams per filter, these are the largest and heaviest infrared filters ever used on an astronomical space mission. The basis of all filters is quartz glass, which is specially coated so that each filter only allows infrared light at very specific wavelengths to pass through. © MPIA/Felix Hormut

The ESA mission Euclid in the clean room of the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille. The fully assembled NISP detector system is located on the right side in the focus of the telescope. The clearly visible blue shimmering lens system is on the left side, with the filters in the device located behind the lenses. They ensure that only infrared light is filtered out from the incoming light before it reaches the NISP instrument. © Euclid Consortium & NISP instrument team.

The Euclid space telescope contains technology from two Max Planck Institutes

Development work with a clear perspective

Planning a space telescope mission like Euclid allows for only one launch attempt. Researchers and engineering teams from the Max Planck Society have had to overcome major challenges to make the technology work in space. They have developed optical components and parts of the instruments on board, a…
