The design, development and first flight results of the MuREM and prototype SSTL-RM miniaturised radiation monitors, capable of measuring the space radiation environment and its effects on electronics, are presented, leading to the deployment of standardised monitors for commercial spacecraft.
Two new, miniaturised scientific radiation monitoring payloads are presented prior to its flight on the TechDemoSat-1 Spacecraft, capable of monitoring the space radiation environment and its effects on radiation sensitive devices. MuREM and SSTL RM carry RADFET dosimeters, dose rate sensitive photodiodes and PIN diode particle detectors. SSTL RM is also connected to external RADFET sensors placed...
The Giove-A spacecraft carries two radiation monitors, CEDEX, built by the University of Surrey and Merlin, built by QinetiQ, to study the radiation environment encountered in the Galileo orbit. The two monitors have been functioning since the beginning of the mission and have measured protons, heavy ions and electrons. The electron environment has been found to be highly variable and driven by solar...
