The Comet Interceptor mission has been adopted by the European Space Agency (ESA) Science Programme Committee in June 2022 as the first ”F” mission in the Science Programme. The aim of the mission is to increase the knowledge on comets and on the Solar System formation by encountering and exploring a Dynamically New Comet (DNC) or an Interstellar Object (ISO) originating at another star. EnVisS (Entire Visible Sky) is an all-sky camera designed to fly on Comet Interceptor and whose scientific task is to study the radiance and the polarization properties of the comet coma in the visible spectrum. The camera is composed of an optical head, a filter strip assembly and a detector. The Institute for Photonics and Nanotechnologies (CNR-IFN) of Padova and Leonardo SpA (Campi BisenzioFlorence) are in charge of the design of the filter package, which currently consists of three filter strips glued side by side. The central strip is a high transmission broadband (BB) filter in the range 550–800 nm with no polarization properties, while the side ones are linear polarization filters with the same transmission bandpass as the BB and with polarization axis at 45° from one another. In the CNR-IFN laboratories different types of polarizers have been tested to establish which one has the most fitting properties for EnVisS’s purposes. The analyzed filters are Moxtek Visible Light Polarizer RCV8N2EC and Ultra BroadBand Polarizer UBB01A, and Polarcor Wide Band Polarizer. For each type of polarizing filter, both transmissivity and reflectivity have been measured and compared both with those of the other filters as well as data provided by the manufacturer. Overall, measurements of the filters’ transmissivity and reflectivity agree with those provided by the supplier and mostly fit EnVisS’ purposes. Thanks to its optimal performance and the fused silica substrate, Moxtek UBB01A is considered the best candidate filter for the instrument between the polarizers that have been characterized.

The Ariel space mission will characterize spectroscopically the atmospheres of a large and diverse sample of hundreds of exoplanets. Through the study of targets with a wide range of planetary parameters (mass, density, equilibrium temperature) and host star types the origin for the diversity observed in known exoplanets will be better understood. Ariel is an ESA Medium class science mission (M4) with a spacecraft bus developed by industry under contract to ESA, and a Payload provided by a consortium of national funding agencies in ESA member states, plus contributions from NASA, the CSA and JAXA. The payload is based on a 1-meter class telescope operated at below 60K, built all in Aluminium, which feeds two science instruments. A multi-channel photometer and low-resolution spectrometer instrument (the FGS, Fine Guidance System instrument) operating from 0.5 – 1.95 microns in wavelength provides both guidance information for stabilizing the spacecraft pointing as well as vital scientific information from spectroscopy in the near-infrared and photometry in the visible channels. The Ariel InfraRed Spectrometer (AIRS) instrument provides medium resolution spectroscopy from 1.95 – 7.8 microns wavelength coverage over two instrument channels. Supporting subsystems provide the necessary mechanical, thermal and electronics support to the cryogenic payload. This paper presents the overall picture of the payload for the Ariel mission. The payload tightly integrates the design and analysis of the various payload elements (including for example the integrated STOP analysis of the Telescope and Common Optics) in order to allow the exacting photometric stability requirements for the mission to be met. The Ariel payload has passed through the Preliminary Design Review (completed in Q2 2023) and is now developing and building prototype models of the Telescope, Instruments and Subsystems (details of which will be provided in other contributions to this conference). This paper will present the current status of the development work and outline the future plans to complete the build and verification of the integrated payload.

Metis is a multi-wavelength coronagraph onboard the European Space Agency (ESA) Solar Orbiter mission. Thanks to the selected Solar Orbiter mission profile, for the first time the poles of the Sun and the circumsolar region will be seen and studied from a privileged point of view near the Sun (minimum distance 0.28 AU). Metis features an innovative instrument design conceived for simultaneously imaging the visible (580-640 nm) and ultraviolet (Lyman α at 121.6 nm) emission of the solar corona. METIS is an externally occulted coronagraph which adopts an “inverted occulted” configuration. The inverted external occulter (IEO) is a circular aperture after which a spherical mirror M0 rejects back the solar disk light, which exits the instrument through the IEO aperture itself. The passing coronal light is then collected by the METIS telescope. Common to both channels, the Gregorian on-axis telescope is centrally occulted and both the primary and the secondary mirrors have annular shape. The optical and radiometric performance of the telescope is strongly dependent on the huge degree of vignetting presented by the optical design. The internal fields are highly vignetted by M0 and further vignetted by the internal elements, such as the internal occulter and the Lyot stop, furthermore the presence of some spiders, needed to mount the internal elements, are vignetting even more, in some parts of the FoV, the light beams. During the instrument commissioning, in the visible light channel some out-of-focus sources have been imaged while moving in the Metis FoV. At a first glance, the out-of-focus images exhibit a very strange pattern. The pattern can be explained by taking into account the peculiar design of the Metis coronagraph instrument; in fact, the not fully illuminated pupil gives rise to “half moon” shape out-of-focus images with the spiders casting their shadow in different positions. In this work, the ray-tracing simulation results for the out-of-focus images are compared with some of the images taken in flight; some considerations relating the shape and dimension of the acquired images with the distance from Metis of the sources are also given.
