The first of 3 STA cameras has been accepted by NIAOT for the AST3 (Antarctic Survey Telescope) project.  Each camera consists of a backside illuminated STA1600FT CCD (10k x 5k frame transfer, 9 um pixel), a compact dewar with TEC cooling, and an STA Reflex camera controller.  The NAIOT announcement can be read here.

STA delivered the URAT camera to Norbert Zacharias at the USNO in Washington, D.C. in August of 2011.  The URAT camera is a focal plane of four 10k x 10k STA1600 CCDs with supporting guider CCDs, a liquid nitrogen cooled dewar, and the supporting camera controllers.  You can see images of the project on the URAT website

The STA1600 datasheet and a description of our new Reflex CCD controller have been added.
