Measurements and Applications

Monitoring of solar protons hitting the platform. Three solid state detectors monitoring the omnidirectional fluxes of solar protons in the energy ranges 0.27-3.2 MeV, 3.2-60 Mev and > 60 MeV; and alpha-particles in the range 12.5-32 MeV; and electrons of energy > 140 keV
