Projects

	LEGRI (Low Energy Gamma Ray Imager) Gamma Ray Coded Mask Telescope on board Spanish MINISAT-01.In operation since launch on April 1997 until February 2002. LEGRI was the fist space mission in which was used a CdZnTe detectors for Astrophysics purposes
	INTEGRAL (INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Lab) Coded Masks of SPI, IBIS and JEM-X instruments on board ESA Gamma Ray Mission. INTEGRAL was launched in October 2002 and is still under operation phase
	SUNRISE / IMAX SUNRISE is a mission to study the structure and dynamics of the solar magnetic field. A 1 metre telescope will be flown in December 2006 in the Antartica on a NASA long duration stratospheric balloon. IMaX (Imaging Magnetograph eXperiment), focal plane instrument on SUNRISE, will produce very high resolution vector magnetograms. See IMAX page at Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias(IAC). See SUNRISE page at Max-Planck-Instutute for Aeronomy
	ASIM/MXGS MXGS stands for Monitor X-ray and Gamma-ray Sensor and it is the high energy sensor in the Atmospheric-Space Interaction Monitor (ASIM). ASIM was proposed for the International Space Station external facilities on the Columbus module, with the scientific goal of studying high-altitude optical emissions from the stratosphere and mesosphere, the so-called red sprites, blue jets, and elves (or Transient Luminous Events, TLEs) and to provide evidence on the possible link between these optical emissions and Terrestial Gamma Ray Flashes (TGFs) See ASIM page at the Danish Space Research Institute (DSRI).
	UFFO/UBAT UFFO stands for Ultra Fast Flash Observatory and it is a dedicated mission to study the early stages of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The GACE is developing UBAT, the X-ray trigger detector for UFFO.
	WSO-UV The WSO-UV is a multipurpose observatory consisting of a 1.7 m-aperture telescope and three instruments for high and intermediate resolution spectroscopy, slitless low resolution spectroscopy, and deep UV imaging. The WSO-UV mission will last for five years with a planned extension of five years more. The mission is run by an international consortium led by Russia and also involving Spain, Germany, and Ukraine. GACE is part of the spanish WSO-UV Science Team
