| Slovak contribution to ESA-JUICE mission: Development of Anti-Coincidence Module ACM for Particle Environment Package PEP | |
| Program: | European Space Agency (ESA) |
| Project leader: | Ing. Baláž Ján, PhD., |
| Annotation: | The ESA’s JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) mission (http://sci.esa.int/juice) have to face to very hostile environment of Jovian radiation belts where the penetrating energetic electrons dominate. The Particle Environment Package (PEP) payload of this mission (http://sci.esa.int/juice/50073-science-payload ) was developed within a wide international collaboration led by Swedish Institute for Space Physics IRF in Kiruna. Due to limited available mass for efficient radiation shielding, the PEP payload will operate in rather unfavourable environment of penetrating energetic electrons that will affect the detection process inside the PEP/JDC (Jovian plasma Dynamics and Composition) sensor. To mitigate the unfavourable influence of the penetrating electron radiation to the plasma ions detection process, a concept of anti-coincidence module (ACM) has been identified within the PEP consortium. The project involves development of space-flight grade semiconductor solid state detector, the processing electronic board and a laboratory testing and calibration system RATEX-J (RAdiation Test EXperiment for JUICE). The JUICE probe has been successfully launched 14.4.2023 from space port Kourou. The PEP science suite has been successfuly commissioned in June 2023. The JUICE probe will be inserted into the orbit around Jupiter on 18. July 2031. |
