| INTEGRAL
(INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) is an
ESA mission dedicated to the fine spectroscopy and imaging of
gamma-ray emissions from celestial sources. INTEGRAL was successfully
launched by a Proton rocket on 17 October 2002 and it is providing
new insight into the most violent and exotic objects of the
Universe, such as black holes, neutron stars, active galactic
nuclei and supernovae. INTEGRAL is also helping us to understand
processes such as the formation of new chemical elements and
mysterious gamma-ray bursts, the most energetic phenomena in
the Universe.
The Joint European X-Ray Monitor (JEM-X) is one of the four INTEGRAL’s Instruments. It plays a crucial role in the detection and identification of the gamma-ray sources. CAEN Aerospace, as subcontractor of IAS (Istituto Astrofisica Spaziale) Frascati - Italy - designed and implemented the Engineering Model, Qualification Model and Flight Models of the 6 kV power supply for the JEM-X Microstrip Gas Chamber Detectors.

 The Central Payload Power Supply for Compact Instruments (CPPS) is now available as an Engineering Model. It has been specifically designed to power Highly Integrated Payload Suites on future small satellites missions where reduced mass, size and power consumption are key factors. |
