Simulations of expected signal and background of gamma-ray sources by large field-of-view detectors aboard CubeSats
Gábor Galgóczi, Jakub Řípa, Riccardo Campana +19
In recent years the number of CubeSats (U-class spacecrafts) launched into space has increased exponentially marking the dawn of the nanosatellite technology. In general these sate…
Estimation of the detected background by the future gamma-ray transient mission CAMELOT
J. Ripa, G. Galgóczi, N. Werner +18
This study presents a background estimation for the Cubesats Applied for MEasuring and LOcalising Transients (CAMELOT), which is a proposed fleet of nanosatellites for the all-sky…
CAMELOT: design and performance verification of the detector concept and localization capability
Masanori Ohno, Norbert Werner, András Pál +16
A fleet of nanosatellites using precise timing synchronization provided by the Global Positioning System is a new concept for monitoring the gamma-ray sky that can achieve both all…
CAMELOT - Concept study and early results for onboard data processing and GPS-based timestamping
András Pál, László Mészáros, Norbert Tarcai +17
Due to recent advances in nanosatellite technology, it is now feasible to integrate scintillators with an effective area of hundreds of square-centimeters on a single three-unit cu…
CAMELOT: Cubesats Applied for MEasuring and LOcalising Transients - Mission Overview
Norbert Werner, Jakub Řípa, András Pál +17
We propose a fleet of nanosatellites to perform an all-sky monitoring and timing based localisation of gamma-ray transients. The fleet of at least nine 3U cubesats shall be equippe…
