Single-spacecraft techniques for shock parameters estimation: A systematic approach
Domenico Trotta, Laura Vuorinen, Heli Hietala +8
Spacecraft missions provide the unique opportunity to study the properties of collisionless shocks utilising in situ measurements. In the past years, several diagnostics have been…
Aalto-1, multi-payload CubeSat: design, integration and launch
J. Praks, M. Rizwan Mughal, R. Vainio +24
The design, integration, testing, and launch of the first Finnish satellite Aalto-1 is briefly presented in this paper. Aalto-1, a three-unit CubeSat, launched into Sun-synchronous…
Radiation Monitor RADMON aboard Aalto-1 CubeSat: First results
Jan Gieseler, Philipp Oleynik, Heli Hietala +12
The Radiation Monitor (RADMON) on-board Aalto-1 CubeSat is an energetic particle detector that fulfills the requirements of small size, low power consumption and low budget. Aalto-…
FORESAIL-1 cubesat mission to measure radiation belt losses and demonstrate de-orbiting
FORESAIL collaboration, M. Palmroth, J. Praks +57
Today, the near-Earth space is facing a paradigm change as the number of new spacecraft is literally sky-rocketing. Increasing numbers of small satellites threaten the sustainable…
An empirical modification of the force field approach to describe the modulation of galactic cosmic rays close to Earth in a broad range of rigidities
Jan Gieseler, Bernd Heber, Konstantin Herbst
On their way through the heliosphere, Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs) are modulated by various effects before they can be detected at Earth. This process can be described by the Parker…
