  • Abstract
    A 640-GHz heterodyne superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) receiver will be installed in Superconducting Submillimeter-wave Limb Emission Sounder (SMILES) on the Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station. SMILES will simultaneously detect twelve emission lines of stratospheric molecules in the limb sounding method. The SIS receiver is operating in single sideband (SSB) mode, and we employ a new type of Martin-Puplett interferometer consisting of two sets of a wire grid and a flat mirror for the SSB filter. The SIS mixers and intermediate-frequency low noise amplifiers will be cooled to 4.5 K and 20 K, respectively, by a Stirling refrigerator combined with a Joule-Thomson circuit used for the first time in space.
