In July 2024, measurements of gamma radiation and electron flux variations were continued using DeCoR devices developed at the Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University. These measurements were carried out on satellites of the Space-Pi (Monitor-3 and Monitor-4, UTMN-2 and Universat (Avion) projects, which are part of the Constellation-270 scientific and educational program of the Lomonosov Moscow State University.
The figures illustrate the measurement data from the devices. The top panel represents the readings from the DeCoR-1 instrument on board the Avion satellite, which includes channels for full counting speed and gamma radiation with energies greater than 40 keV as well as electrons with energies above 200 keV. The second panel shows the counting rates from the DeCoR-3 instrument on board Avion satellite for channels with energy ranges of 30–100 keV, 100–300 keV, and greater than 300 keV.
The DeCoR-2 instruments on board the Monitor-4 and UTMN-2 satellites (panels 4 and 5) are configured to measure with even higher sensitivity. In the data they collect, only the maximum values at the time of passage through the outer radiation belt, where energetic electrons are present, are clearly visible.
