The launch of the Scorpion small satellite in the cubesat 16U format is scheduled for the end of 2025. The main purpose of the satellite is to study flares in the upper atmosphere. The payload for atmospheric research includes a TGS gamma-ray spectrometer and an optical and UV photometer and spectrometer SONET. Another research on board the Scorpion satellite can be done with a complex of cosmic radiation detectors and a biocontainer designed to study the influence of cosmic factors on microorganisms. The satellite will be placed in a circular polar orbit with a height of ~500 km, suitable for observations in all areas, including areas of thunderstorm activity near the equator and high latitudes, important for studying phenomena related to solar activity. The TGS device is a scintillation gamma-ray spectrometer that performs measurements in the range from 50 keV to 10 MeV. Four modules of TGS provide a sensitive area ~250 cm2. The device will generate data both in the traditional monitoring format and in the event by event one. It is necessary for studying TGFs with a characteristic duration of ~200 microseconds. SONET scientific equipment is designed to study the spatial and temporal dynamics and spectral composition of radiation from transient atmospheric phenomena and lightning discharges. It includes the highly sensitive imaging photometer, a spectrometer whose main purpose is to identify the type and height of the flash, and a pinhole camera aimed at the limb with an angular resolution of 30 mrad. The expected daily data volume of ~100 MB will allow detailed information to be transmitted to Earth with simultaneous measurements by all instruments.

摘要

The launch of the Scorpion small satellite in the cubesat 16U format is scheduled for the end of 2025. The main purpose of the satellite is to study flares in the upper atmosphere. The payload for atmospheric research includes a TGS gamma-ray spectrometer and an optical and UV photometer and spectrometer SONET. Another research on board the Scorpion satellite can be done with a complex of cosmic radiation detectors and a biocontainer designed to study the influence of cosmic factors on microorganisms. The satellite will be placed in a circular polar orbit with a height of ~500 km, suitable for observations in all areas, including areas of thunderstorm activity near the equator and high latitudes, important for studying phenomena related to solar activity. The TGS device is a scintillation gamma-ray spectrometer that performs measurements in the range from 50 keV to 10 MeV. Four modules of TGS provide a sensitive area ~250 cm2. The device will generate data both in the traditional monitoring format and in the event by event one. It is necessary for studying TGFs with a characteristic duration of ~200 microseconds. SONET scientific equipment is designed to study the spatial and temporal dynamics and spectral composition of radiation from transient atmospheric phenomena and lightning discharges. It includes the highly sensitive imaging photometer, a spectrometer whose main purpose is to identify the type and height of the flash, and a pinhole camera aimed at the limb with an angular resolution of 30 mrad.
