Caliste-SO CdTe Detectors: Five Years of Continuous Operations in Orbit on Board STIX/Solar Orbiter

The Spectrometric Telescope for X-ray Imaging (STIX) was successfully launched on February 9, 2020 from Cape Canaveral aboard the Solar Orbiter satellite. The first mission in the European Space Agency's Cosmic Vision scientific program has been orbiting the Sun for over five years, providing new insights into the physics of solar flares with an unprecedented orbit, passing as close as 0.29 astronomical units from the Sun center.
