The Galileo spacecraft's Solid State Imager (SSI) is a slow scan TV camera consisting of a 150-cm telescope and an 800 x 800-element, virtual phase CCD which will increase light sensitivity by 100 times over the vidicon tube camera used on Voyager missions. The CCD will be shielded by a 1-cm thick tantalum layer that covers the sensor, and the light-admitting aperture will be covered with a quartz plug. Only about one electron in 10,000 will penetrate the shield. The CCD will thereby receive 2500 rads during the 20-month mission, although it can withstand at least 10,000 rads.
