Photonis Channeltron® Electron Multipliers Soar Into the Alaskan Aurora on NASA's DISSIPATION Mission
STURBRIDGE, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 13, 2024 / Photonis, a leading brand of Exosens, has supplied U.S. government agency NASA with Channeltron® (Channel Electron Multipliers) to be used to aid in the detection of particles present within the atmospheric phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis.
On Nov. 8, NASA's Goddard Flight Center's DISSIPATION mission took flight aboard a suborbital, two-stage sounding rocket launched from the Poker Flats Research Range in Fairbanks, Alaska. The launch occurred shortly after midnight and was timed perfectly with the peak of the aurora that morning, which lasted less than half an hour. Ascending into the auroras, the mission aimed to gather crucial data that will shed light on the intricate process of energy dissipation from high-altitude solar winds into the atmosphere. This knowledge holds significant implications for enhancing our understanding of aurora formation and improving space weather predictions.
The DISSIPATION sub-payload features NASA's MoSAIC (Modular Spectrometer for Atmosphere and Ionization Characterization) instrument equipped with Photonis Channeltron® Channel Electron Multipliers. These specialized detectors play a crucial role in MoSAIC, enabling precise measurements of neutral and ion winds' composition, density, temperature, and velocity in the upper atmosphere.
"We are excited and honored to contribute our advanced Channeltron™ Ion Detection Technology to NASA's DISSIPATION Mission. This collaboration marks another milestone in our commitment to make advanced cutting-edge technology available for the scientific community to explore and understand the mysteries of our universe. We look forward to seeing how our technology aids in unraveling the complexities of the Aurora Borealis and solar winds to improve space weather predictions," said Ulrich Laupper, President and Executive General Manager of the Exosens Ultimate Detection Business Unit.
While it will take scientists a while to analyze all the data, the early results are that the mission was a complete success.

Innodata Releases the First Stage of Its AI Cyber Training Suite to Enable AI Coding Agents to Write - and Repair - Secure Code4.8.2026 14:30:00 CEST | Press release
Twelve datasets and evaluation systems, built by hand from thousands of real-world security flaws, give model builders and enterprises a proven way to keep AI-generated code from introducing vulnerabilities. NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2026 / INNODATA INC. (Nasdaq:INOD) today released the first stage of its AI Cyber Training Suite - twelve datasets and evaluation systems that train AI coding agents to write code that avoids known security flaws, to avoid introducing new ones, and to patch existing vulnerabilities in the software companies already run. The suite addresses what has become a central barrier to trusting AI-written code: the risk that an agent, while adding a feature or modernizing a legacy system, quietly opens a security hole. The AI Cyber Training Suite works across the stack of coding agents - the models, the harnesses, and the tools - to help ensure the code they produce is not just functional, but secure. It is available to model builders and enterprise
