Compact Crystal Calorimeter Coupled to SiPMs for Particle Flux and Energy Measurements in Space - IRADCAL

The IRADCAL is an innovative particle calorimeter demonstrator approved to fly on Turkish Lunar Mission (TLM). The detector will measure the space weather during its trip to Moon and also on its surface and downlink the data almost on real time. This will be the first Turkish particle calorimeter in space capable to measure the fluxes, energies and particle types. Its compact size and weight and low cost permits to install it also on cubesat either in free-fly or in constellation for extensive LEO space weather data collection. As well, it will be possible to install it on large satellite in different orbits and act as real time space radiation alarm system and also as particle detector collecting valuable science data.
