Almost four years of data for the DLR RAMIS measurements in LEO and further updates on the DLR M‐42 detector family

Abstract

The DLR RAMIS detector telescope has been measuring the radiation environment in a Earth polar orbit at around 600 km altitude since December 2018 in the frame of the DLR Eu:CROPIS mission. For almost four years now the data measured covered the last solar minimum in spring 2020 and now the increasing solar maximum. With RAMIS we could measure the variation of trapped electrons in the outer radiation belts, the solar cycle variation of the galactic cosmic radiation and in the last months also several solar particle events for the new solar cycle. In the last years DLR also developed the M‐42 radiation detector family as baseline detector for the application during the MARE experiment on the NASA Artemis 1 mission scheduled to fly in summer 2022. Updates on new M‐42 developments (for example: increasing energy deposition range) and data from flown balloon flight campaigns over Antarctica and during the DLR MAPHEUS missions will be provided.
