Last Friday, a group of schoolers from the University Gymnasium of Moscow State University visited the Small Spacecraft Control Center at Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics.
The head of the project and the researcher of the Radiation Monitoring Laboratory, Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, Ivan Zolotarev, held a scientific seminar with schoolers as part of the interdisciplinary project "Developing MADIZ-device for CubeSat (small satellite)."
The project is being implemented within the curriculum of the University Gymnasium, M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2023-2024. The satellite will be launched as part of the Space-Pi program. The development, technological base, and plan for the device are being overseen and supported by the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics.
The project aims to develop a cosmic radiation detector based on a camera matrix sensor for a cubesat satellite. The main goal is to explore the polar regions with high radiation levels, and control dose in these orbits.
At the last seminar, the students went through the next phase of the project – coming up with ways to predict space weather.They developed a plan for the device time measurement in orbit and in near-Earth space sections, for switching it on.
The seminar was highly productive, and the guys are prepared for the next phase of the process, which involves controlling the spacecraft and gathering information transmitted from it.
