Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) are optical sensors widely used in space applications due to their high photon detection efficiency, low power consumption, and robustness. However, Low Earth Orbit (LEO), performance degrades over time prolonged exposure ionizing radiation, primarily from trapped protons electrons. The dominant radiation-induced effect SiPMs is an increase dark current count rate, which can compromise detector sensitivity. This study investigates the potential of thermal...
Over the past three decades, acceptance of higher risk thresholds within space industry has facilitated widespread integration commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components into avionics and payloads, leading to a remarkable transformation in design missions. This led emergence New Space Economy adoption lean or small satellites general, particularly CubeSats. CubeSats are now widely used commercial, scientific, research applications due their versatility, affordability, simplicity development,...
Laboratory-on-a-satellite (LabOSat) is an applied research group whose main goal to increase the technology readiness level of electronic devices and systems for their use in space. To achieve this objective, designs fabricates satellite payloads. Between 2014 2020 LabOSat has participated nine missions orbit. In recent years, started development LabOSat-02, a payload controller designed small satellites. brief communication, LabOSat-02 hardware firmware design described presented.
