Camera and Detector Development in the Space Science and Technology Department of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory

This paper reports on detector and camera developments in the Space Science and Technology Department of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. In recent years, we have been developing CCD-based cameras for, amongst others, solar physics research, and high resolution Earth observation from space. More recently, we have diversified into the development of both CCD and IR detector systems for ground-based astronomy. This paper summarises our project work and on-going development programmes.
