Abstract

We are currently developing a magnesium diboride (MgB2) detector array for use in future space-based spectrometers. This 2-D array is intended for use in high-resolution investigations of the outer planets and their icy moons. The state of the array processing, the current pixel design as well as signal-to-noise considerations is briefly discussed. Expected pixel sensitivities and comparison to current state-of-the-art infrared (IR) detectors will be briefly discussed.
