Summary:
The 3DEES instrument provides high fidelity directional measurements of the energy spectra and temporal variations of energetic electrons encountered in near-Earth space. The instrument covers the electron energy ranges required as input to space weather models and products and relevant for future European missions and technologies encountering the outer radiation belt environment.
A number of concepts were developed and studied. For each option, mass, complexity and power requirements as well as requirements for placement on spacecraft were analysed. From these options, the best candidate was chosen and prototyped. Unit and system testing of the prototype was performed.
