The Ariel space mission will characterize spectroscopically the atmospheres of a large and diverse sample of hundreds of exoplanets. Through the study of targets with a wide range of planetary parameters (mass, density, equilibrium temperature) and host star types the origin for the diversity observed in known exoplanets will be better understood. Ariel is an ESA Medium class science mission (M4) with a spacecraft bus developed by industry under contract to ESA, and a Payload provided by a consortium of national funding agencies in ESA member states, plus contributions from NASA, the CSA and JAXA. The payload is based on a 1-meter class telescope operated at below 60K, built all in Aluminium, which feeds two science instruments. A multi-channel photometer and low-resolution spectrometer instrument (the FGS, Fine Guidance System instrument) operating from 0.5 – 1.95 microns in wavelength provides both guidance information for stabilizing the spacecraft pointing as well as vital scientific information from spectroscopy in the near-infrared and photometry in the visible channels. The Ariel InfraRed Spectrometer (AIRS) instrument provides medium resolution spectroscopy from 1.95 – 7.8 microns wavelength coverage over two instrument channels. Supporting subsystems provide the necessary mechanical, thermal and electronics support to the cryogenic payload. This paper presents the overall picture of the payload for the Ariel mission. The payload tightly integrates the design and analysis of the various payload elements (including for example the integrated STOP analysis of the Telescope and Common Optics) in order to allow the exacting photometric stability requirements for the mission to be met. The Ariel payload has passed through the Preliminary Design Review (completed in Q2 2023) and is now developing and building prototype models of the Telescope, Instruments and Subsystems (details of which will be provided in other contributions to this conference). This paper will present the current status of the development work and outline the future plans to complete the build and verification of the integrated payload.

Ariel (Atmospheric Remote Sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large Survey) [1] [2] is the fourth Mission (M4) of the ESA’s Cosmic Vision Program 2015-2025, selected in March 2018 and officially adopted in November 2020 by the Agency, whose aim is to characterize the atmospheres of hundreds of diverse exoplanets orbiting nearby different types of stars and to identify the key factors affecting the formation and evolution of planetary systems. The Mission will have a nominal duration of four years and a possible extension of two years at least. Its launch is presently scheduled for mid 2029 from the French Guiana Space Centre in Kourou on board an Ariane 6.2 launcher in a dual launch configuration with Comet Interceptor. The baseline operational orbit of the Ariel is a large amplitude halo orbit around the second Lagrangian (L2) virtual point located along the line joining the Sun and the Earth-Moon system at about 1.5 million km (~236 RE) from the Earth in the anti-Sun direction. Ariel’s halo orbit is designed to be an eclipse-free orbit as it offers the possibility of long uninterrupted observations in a fairly stable environment (thermal, radiation, etc.). An injection trajectory is foreseen with a single passage through the Van Allen radiation belts (LEO, MEO and GEO near-Earth environments). This is approximated by a worst-case half orbit, prior the injection and transfer to L2, with a duration of 10.5 hours, a perigee of 300 km (LEO), an apogee of 64000 km (GEO and beyond), and an inclination close to 0 degrees. During both the injection trajectory and the final orbit around L2, Ariel will encounter and interact mainly with the Sun radiation and the space plasma environment. In L2 the Ariel spacecraft will spend most of its time in the direct solar wind and the Earth’s magnetosheath with passages through the magnetotail. These three environments, along with LEO and GEO, can lead to the build-up of a net electric charge on the spacecraft and payload conductive and dielectric surfaces leading to the risk of Electro Static Discharges (ESD), potentially endangering the whole Payload integrity and telecommunications to Ground.

This paper describes the Optical Ground Support Equipment (OGSE) that is being developed for the payload level testing of the Ariel Space Telescope. Ariel has been adopted as ESA’s “M4” mission in its Cosmic Visions Programme and will launch in 2029 to the second Earth-Sun Lagrange point. During four years of operation the Ariel payload (PL – the cryogenic payload module plus warm units) will perform precise transit spectroscopy of approximately 1000 known exoplanetary atmospheres using a 1.1 m × 0.7 m telescope coupled to two instruments: the Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) and the Ariel Infrared Spectrometer (AIRS). These instruments provide three spectrometric channels that cover 1.0 to 7.8 μm wavelength range and three photometric channels between 0.5 and 1.1 μm. The Ariel OGSE will verify the optical and radiometric performance of the integrated Ariel PL under vacuum and cryogenic (<40 K) test conditions within the limitations of operation under Earth’s gravity and vibration environments. To achieve these verification requirements the OGSE is integrated with the main Ariel ground test 5 m thermal vacuum chamber. The test chamber contains a cryogenic enclosure (the Cryogenic Test Rig) that surrounds the PL and the OGSE itself comprises of four subsystems. (1) A cryogenic vacuum chamber and integrating sphere illumination module that is fed by visible, near infrared and thermal infrared sources. The illumination module is mounted external to the Ariel test chamber and coupled via a vacuum feedthrough that relays a 22 mm diameter test beam into the Cryogenic Test Rig. The test beam is then relayed using (2) an injection module that steers the beam to maintain alignment during cool-down and scan the Ariel telescope field of view. The beam is then expanded to partially illuminate the Ariel telescope primary mirror using an (3) ~0.3 m diameter target projector collimating mirror. The final optical component of the OGSE is a (4) beam expander placed on the Ariel common optical bench to compensate for the sub-aperture illumination of the primary and to ensure that the spectrometer modules provide illumination with correct cone angles during ground testing. It is planned to use the OGSE in 2026 for a full range of calibration and verification tests of the end-to-end telescope and instrument performance, including detectors, field of view and alignment. These tests will then ensure that Ariel meets it challenging photometric and spectral performance requirements.
