AbstraktAbstract

The objective of this activity is to design, develop and test a small (< 0.2 kg) radiation monitor capable of broad sensing of energetic charged particles for GEO telecommunication mission and electric propulsion orbit raising. Targeted Improvements: An order of magnitude reduction in the mass and volume as compared to present-day radiation monitors. Lower complexity and replacement of expensive materials compared to solution available today. Description:Space radiation measurements are a critical input for recurrent issues including spacecraft anomaly diagnosis, environmental specification validation, and investigation of margins that potentially lead to over design against radiation. Radiation monitors prove very useful for these purposes, but systematic accommodation is hampered by power/mass/data requirements, potential high unit cost, and integration costs. Small radiation monitors are of interest to industry and commercial customers who are usually put off by the size, cost and interfacing complexity of such devices...
