Oneliner | Measure the ionosphere and reconstruct ionospheric electron density profile using radio occultation technique. |
Description | Measure the ionosphere and reconstruct ionospheric electron density profile using radio occultation technique. The nanosatellite should measure the flux and spectrum of electrons of 1-20 MeV gamma anomaly in the South Atlantic and polar cusps. It could also save the gamma flux from the Sun, visible on a low orbit. These data will be useful to better understand the Earth's ionosphere, its relationship with solar activity and space weather. The nanosatelite contains two payloads: a dual frequency GPS receiver and a gamma ray scintillator. |
