Energetic charged-particle environment can be monitored and spectroscopically analyzed with newly developed copper-halide thin-film scintillators. These films are synthesized of perovskite materials that exhibit strong blue luminescence even in polycrystalline form. This provides facile and low-budget production technology, structural flexibility and stability, as well as high tolerance to...

The miniaturized MiniPIX-Timepix3 Space radiation monitor is deployed in open space in LEO orbit onboard the OneWeb JoeySat (launched May 2023, initially at 600 km, currently at 1200 km polar orbit) to monitor and characterize the complex radiation field in the satellite environment. The pixel detector is implemented in miniaturized electronics MiniPix-Timepix3 Space (Advacam) of size 95 mm ×...

The plasma environment in the inner Earth’s magnetosphere fills a vast region between Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and varies significantly with solar and geomagnetic conditions on the time scales of minutes. Spacecraft surface charging is a serious concern for satellites at those orbits leading to anomalies of operations. Spacecraft charging is a function of the space...

Multilayer or Z-graded radiation shielding has been proposed to reduce the weight of satellite radiation shielding in comparison to conventional aluminium shielding. Especially for CubeSats, which are mass and volume-constrained and rely on non-radiation hard commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components, multilayer shielding could enable longer mission durations and missions to higher orbits....
