Applications

The following list summarizes selected space missions and applications realized using Timepix-based radiation detectors developed by ADVACAM. These flight-proven technologies and heritage missions now form the technological foundation that AdvaSpace further utilizes, adapts, and develops for its own space radiation monitoring products, satellite components, and downstream space-weather services.

SPACE WEATHER MONITORING

Charged particles from solar flares and coronal ejections can harm astronauts‘ health or induce damaging electrical currents in the spacecraft‘s sensitive electronics.

Radiation data for your space experiment

Thanks to their compact size, Timepix-based detectors are well suitable to be integrated for various space experiments.

Case Story: Protecting Satellite Fleets with MiniPIX SPACE

By the end of this decade, tens of thousands of satellites are expected to operate in Earth orbit.

Particle tracking in space

Our radiation monitoring cameras can visualize each charged particle that impacts the detector’s surface.

Radiation Monitoring in the interior of Gateway Lunar Station

As humanity prepares for exploration beyond Earth orbit, radiation becomes one of the most mission-critical challenges.

Insurance Use Case: A Solar Storm Claim

Following a severe solar event, several satellites in a commercial constellation experience partial power degradation and attitude-control anomalies.

CubeSat Integration

Thanks to their ultra-low power consumption of around 3 W and extremely compact form factor, Timepix-based detectors are ready for integration even into the smallest CubeSats.

The vision of AdvaConstellation: How AdvaSpace’s Radiation-Monitoring Constellation Could Transform Space-Weather Risk Management

Space radiation is no longer a niche technical concern.

Protecting Power Grids from Space Weather with MiniPIX

Modern electricity transmission networks face an often-overlooked threat: space weather.

Radiation Monitoring for Aviation and Aerospace Operations

Commercial aircraft cruise at altitudes of around 10 kilometers, where radiation exposure is dramatically higher than at sea level—on average about 6 µSv per hour, roughly 200 times more than on the ground.

How Space Insurers Can Reduce Risk and Improve Liability Decisions with AdvaSpace Radiation Intelligence

As satellite constellations multiply and new regulatory frameworks such as the European Space Act begin to emphasize sustainability, maneuverability in low Earth orbit, and debris-mitigation responsibilities, insurers face a rapidly changing risk landscape.
