South African Astronomy Observatory (SAAO) Network's Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) is upgrading its Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS) with a new single monolithic CCD detector to replace the old, fragmented one, improving performance and throughput by eliminating chip gaps and leveraging new fringe-suppression techniques. This new detector will be similar to the one used in the RSS-Red arm, with the goal of being operational by early 2026.
