Description
15 years ago, CNES and ONERA developed a low mass and low power solid state detector named ICARE-NG. This monitor has been flying on the SAC-D and JASON 2 satellites and is currently monitoring the Earth radiation belts onboard JASON-3 spacecraft. We review here the benefits of such a detector (much simpler than a scientific one) providing multi-spacecraft measurements in Low Earth Orbit. In particular, these monitors are a rare opportunity to observe both long term variations in LEO and gradients between orbits.
