ABSTRACT

Space radiation is a constant threat for the success of a mission away from the Earth’s protective magnetosphere. During a mission of a satellite a high risk of coming into contact with different radiation environment types and events including galactic cosmic rays or solar particle events is occur. Radiation measurements of the mixed environment represent an excellent opportunity to improve the mission safety. HERADO has developed an innovative compact system having small dimension, low weight and high accuracy to measure the mix field of radiation environment. A strong indication about quality and the innovation of our system is the acceptance to be upload on MARE (Matroshka AstoRad Radiation Experiment) project with Orion NASA vehicle. MARE is a radiation science payload proposed to fly on Artemis-1 by German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Israel Space Agency (ISA) supported by Lockheed Martin and subsequently accepted and manifested by NASA. Greece is accepted to participate in these experiments by providing 4 real time dosimeters systems ALMAR developed by HERADO. The status of the system is going to be presented.
