Additional information

Sharples led Durham engineering team which developed the payload design (Section 13) for SPACE. The SPACE mission, along with DUNE, underpins the concepts behind the current ESA dark energy mission EUCLID. The technical work done for SPACE demonstrated that a wide-field survey spectrograph for precision measurements of baryonic acoustic oscillations and redshift space distortions, was achievable using digital micro-mirror devices for targets selection and a new approach to wide-field spectrograph design. The payload design is presented in Figures 6-10 of the paper which were prepared by Sharples and Content.
