NUSES is an innovative space mission proposed and co-ordinated by the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in collaboration with INFN, several academic institutions, and Thales Alenia Space Italy (TAS-I).
The project features two main scientific payloads: Ziré and Terzina.
Ziré is designed to measure the energy spectra of low-energy cosmic and gamma rays, high-energy astrophysical neutrinos,...
The RadMap Telescope is a compact instrument designed to characterize the primary spectrum of cosmic-ray nuclei and the secondary radiation field created by their interaction with the shielding of spacecraft. Its main purpose is to precisely monitor the radiation exposure of astronauts, and it is the first instrument with a compact form factor that can measure both the charge and energy of...
This presentation will provide an overview of the Scalable Radiation Monitors for Advancing Space Exploration (RadMon-on-ISS) experiment, which will be deployed onboard the European Columbus module of the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the first Polish technological and scientific mission – IGNIS, under the Ax-4 commercial crew mission, with Polish project astronaut Sławosz...
Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) are increasingly used in space missions for the detection of near-UV, optical, and infrared light due to their compact design, low cost, low power consumption, robustness, and high photo-detection efficiency, which makes them sensitive to single photons. Although SiPMs outperform traditional photomultiplier tubes in many areas, concerns about their radiation...
Selene’s Explorer for Roughness, Regolith, Resources, Neutrons and Elements (SER3NE) is a small lunar orbiter mission led by UiO, aiming on mapping the global composition of solids and volatiles and thus the elemental abundance of the lunar surface in unprecedented spatial resolution. One of the instruments onboard is the Gamma-Ray-including-Neutrons Spectrometer GRiNS, a hybrid radiation...
