Radiation data for your space experiment

Space

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

Radiation data can be relevant for experiments in many fields, such as biosciences, pharma and tech. The effects of space particles on different materials and components remains still largely undescribed, which is why many companies need to test their products before introducing them to the market.

An excellent example of Timepix-based detector used to measure radiation data is integration with Space Application’s International Commercial Experiment Cubes systems. The ICE Cubes are complete sets allowing companies and scientists to perform experiments on the ISS from the ground.

Another of ADVACAM’s partners, Vector Space BioSciences, is set to launch multiple satelites to document the impact of radiation on different biomaterials. The first launch is scheduled for 2025 and will include about 50 Tardigrades along with the Timepix2. Each individual payload will generate high-value data to be further analysed.

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 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.
