Description
The availability of good quality housekeeping data on the ionizing radiation environment in and around spacecraft systems is recognised as highly desirable for the efficient design and operation of spacecraft. Yet the engineering and economic costs of integrating such sensors into flight systems are a serious barrier to their widespread adoption.
The Highly Miniaturised Radiation Monitor has been developed by the Science and Technology Facilities Council and Imperial College London within the framework of a European Space Agency technology development contract.
HMRM integrates the majority of the functional elements of the monitor into a sensor ASIC. This greatly reduces the mass, volume and power requirements of the hardware. The overall status of the Highly Miniaturised Radiation Monitor programme will be presented together with perspectives for its space qualification and availability to users.
