 Power
Supply for BWO tube has been shipped to Space Research
Organization Netherlands, www.sron.nl.
This PS will be used in HIFI
Science Instruments for Herschel equipment development.
Herschel is cornerstone number 4 (CS4) in the European
Space Agency science
project `Horizon
2000'. It will be implemented together with the
Planck mission (selected as M3) as a single project.
HIFI is a very high resolution heterodyne spectrometer. It
offers velocity resolution in the range 0.3-300 km/s, combined
with low noise detection using superconductor-insulator-superconductor
(SIS) and hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixers. HIFI is not
an maging instrument, it provides a single pixel on the sky.
See

Wave Division at SRON facility during successful delivery
trial of the equipment.
