Description
The Space Application of Timepix Radiation Monitor (SATRAM) is now in space for more than 7 years continuously measuring the radiation in Low Earth Orbit. It is attached to the Proba-V satellite, an Earth observing satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA) from an altitude of 820 km on a sun-synchronous orbit. The technology demonstration payload is based on the Timepix chip with a 300 μm thick silicon sensor with a pixel pitch 55 μm and 256 x 256 pixels. In a previous publication, a strategy to separate electrons, protons and ions in the data was presented. Since then, advances have been made in the separation of the different particle species through the use of neural networks. Results of the improved particle species identification will be presented together with the latest data on the measured in-orbit dose rates.
