Preparing for the First Medipix Detectors in Space
Original language description
Current plans call for two separate missions to deploy Medipix2-Technology-based detectors in space for the first time. NASA will deploy 5 or more TimePix detector assembly on the International Space Station (ISS) during 2012 as part of a Station Detailed Test Objective. Each unit will be plugged into one of the 21 Lenovo laptops that are currently onboard the ISS. The purpose of this test is to acquire initial on-orbit data to allow feedback into the design of the next generation of Medipix device fordevelopment of a portable, stand-alone, wireless and battery-powered personal space radiation dosimeter. The second mission, LUCID (Langton Ultimate Cosmic ray Intensity Detector) is part of a UK outreach project being conducted by the Simon Langton School for Boys in Canterbury. A small instrument containing 5 detector assemblies, also containing the TimePix versions of the Medipix2 technology will be deployed on the upcoming UK TechDemoSat 1 mission, also planned for launch in 2012.
