AbstraktAbstract

Rapid International Scientific Experiment Satellite (RISESAT) is a small Japanese experimental Earth-observing, science and technology demonstration satellite. One of the scientific instruments onboard is a miniature radiation monitor telescope RISEPix with two Timepix detectors, developed and built at the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, Czech Technical University in Prague. After its successful launch in January 2019, RISESAT joined two other still operational satellites with our Timepix-based radiation monitors, SATRAM onboard the ESA satellite Proba-V (launched in 2013) and the Czech VZLUSAT-1 cubesat (launched 2017). In this work, we present general technical and scientific details about the RISESAT satellite mission and the RISEPix module, and a basic comparison of space weather monitoring from SATRAM and VZLUSAT-1 radiation monitors.
