User Story: Developing a Thermal Calibration System for a Deep-Space Telescope
In order to detect weak far-infrared signals, deep-space telescopes need ultrasensitive detectors and calibration. As you can see in this case study, it is important to keep these sensors within a certain temperature range. Read on to see how simulation comes into play.
