..., is the implementation of SDDs instead of Si PIN diodes ( Fig. 6 ). Experience with SDDs has already been gained with the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS), which is also part of the payload of the Mars Exploration Rovers ( Fig. 2 ; Rieder et al . 2003 ) as well as the ROSETTA mission, launched in 2004...
