Performance
Scientific paper
A semi automatic facility for the optimization of mass spectrometers (or more generally space instruments) is presented. Complexity and requirements on performance of space instruments is increasing. Utilizing optimization algorithms decreases the amount of work and time dedicated to the fine-tuning of these instruments on ground and, even more important, in space. Computer based optimization typically outperforms manual tuning of the instrument in both time consumption and final instrument performance. The optimization method presented can be used from designing the hardware to finding the optimal voltage parameters, be it in the first test phases or even during flight in case of degradation of the sensor performance due to anomalies or simple aging. Increase in performance is shown on three different time of flight mass spectrometers e.g. the RTOF instrument on board the ESA mission Rosetta.
