Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), in cooperation with the Boston University Center for Space Physics, and under the sponsorship of the Air Force Research Laboratory Space Vehicle Directorate, has developed and tested a lightweight, multi-configuration sensor to monitor the space weather environment. The scintillator-based Low Energy Particle Imaging Spectrometer (LEPIS) is ideally suited to monitoring the lower energy (20 to 1000 keV) charged particle environment. The LEPIS design is also compatible with the weight, volume, and power requirements of nanosatellites ( |
