First tests at the Solaris synchrotron
From 10 to 15 February, the HYADES mission team carried out the first experimental tests at the Solaris synchrotron, focusing on characterizing the transmission properties of the gas filter prototype—one of the most innovative components of the HYADES space telescope, currently being developed at Jagiellonian University. The experiment utilized the Kraków-based synchrotron as a source of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light at approximately 10 eV, closely matching the spectral conditions the satellite will observe from space.
