A Prototype of a Miniature Solar Wind Analyzer for Small Spacecrafts

摘要

The work is dedicated to solving the problem of miniaturization of plasma instruments, in particular, the development of a miniature ion analyzer for small spacecraft. The described instrument can be used as part of a prognostic and diagnostic complex designed to monitor the conditions in the solar wind and detect critical events. The target parameters of the instrument include the ability to separate protons and alpha particles in the energy range of 500-10 000 eV with an energy resolution Delta E/E not worse than 10%. The flight unit should comply with the 1U form factor of the CubeSat standard.
