Abstract 256×256-element IBC Si:As arrays have been evaluated for applications in IR astronomy from space-borne platforms. Basic figures of merit were measured at IR flux levels simulating those expected in space-based astronomical observations. Results include dark current 〈20e -/s, Gη as high as 3.8, η/β of 20%, and read noise below 100 rms e-.
