Abstract

The Atmospheric Remote-sensing InfraRed Large-survey (ARIEL) is a medium-class mission of the European Space Agency whose launch is planned by late 2029 whose aim is to study the composition of exoplanet atmospheres, their formation and evolution. The ARIEL’s target will be a sample of about 1000 planets observed with one or more of the following methods: transit, eclipse and phase-curve spectroscopy, at both visible and infrared wavelengths simultaneously. The scientific payload is composed by a reflective telescope having a 1m-class primary mirror, built in solid aluminum, and two focal-plane instruments: 1. FGS (Fine Guidance System), performing photometry in visible light and low resolution spectrometry over three bands (from 0.8 to 1.95 µm) 2. AIRS (ARIEL InfraRed Spectrometer) that will perform infrared spectrometry in two wavelength ranges between 1.95 and 7.8 µm. This paper depicts the status of the TA (Telescope Assembly) electric section whose purpose is to deploy sensors, managed by the Telescope Control Unit, for the precise monitoring of the Telescope’s temperatures and the decontamination system, used to avoid the contamination of the optical surfaces (mirrors in primis).
