Abstract
The goal of this project has been to determine if HgCdTe detector arrays are a viable option for future passively cooled space astronomy missions covering the long wavelength range between 10 and 15 μm, replacing Si:As devices which have to be operated at a temperature of 6–8 K.

Notes
- 1.
The fourth array (H1RG-18367) exhibited a multiplexer glow, increasing the current measured in the dark to 10 e −∕s.
- 2.
Operability requirements for this device with an applied bias of 350 mV consists of dark currents < 200 e −∕s and well depths > 75 ke −.
