Characterization and Directional Visualization of Space Radiation Quanta on Low Earth Orbit with Timepix-based compact Spacecraft Payload
Original language description
In this contribution the response of the SATRAM/Timepix spacecraft payload to space radiation in Low Earth Orbit in the form of full Timepix frames along a single satellite orbit is presented. The compact light weight SATRAM payload has been operating inopen space on board ESA?s Proba-V satellite in low Earth orbit since May 2013. The embedded Timepix chip can determine the composition and spectral characteristics of ionizing radiation in the satellite environment together with visualization of singleparticle tracks. The device provides single quantum X-ray photon and charged particle counting for high sensitivity detection, high resolution tracking and directional visualization of energetic charged particles over a wide dynamic range of particle fluxes, energies and broad field of view. In addition to the visualization of the varying radiation environment along a single satellite orbit also preliminary evaluated results in the form of total particle flux maps (navigation correlated
