Using CubeSat Nanosatellites to Observe Solar Cosmic Rays
摘要
Abstract
The authors demonstrate the possibility of using CubeSat nanosatellites to study solar cosmic rays (SCRs). SCR electron fluxes over the polar caps at altitudes of ∼550 km are detected. Measurements are made using scintillation detectors of cosmic radiation (DeCoR) mounted on several CubeSat nanosatellites of Moscow State University during an SCR event on September 6–21, 2022.
