Explorer 1 Prime and MEROPE
• Explorer 1 Launches as first US satellite and discovers the Earth’s radiation belts
1958
Explorer 1 Prime and MEROPE
• MEROPE was launched in 2006 on a DNEPR from Kazakastan.• “CraterSynchronous Orbit”
1958 2006
Explorer 1 Prime and MEROPE
• MEROPE was launched in 2006 on a DNEPR from Kazakastan.• “CraterSynchronous Orbit”
• E1P was launched on March 4, 2011 on a Taurus XL for the ELaNa 1 Mission.
• “AquaSynchronous Orbit”
20111958 2006
E1P Flight Unit 2 (E1P-FU2)
• Manifested on the ELaNa 3 Mission.• October 25, 2011 with NPP as the Primary on a Delta II• Vandenberg Air Force Base• Delivery of the unit July 25, 2011• Currently undergoing full integration testing.
FIREBIRD
Focused Investigation of Relativistic Electron Burst, Intensity, Range, and Dynamics (FIREBIRD)– Funded by the National Science Foundation– Participating Institutions
• SSEL – Montana State University• University of New Hampshire• Los Alamos National Laboratories• The Aerospace Corporation
Fly two 1.5kg (1.5U) cubesat spacecraft to assess the spatial scale and spatial/temporal ambiguity of magnetospheric relativistic electron microbursts: 1) What is the spatial scale size of an individual burst?2) What is the energy dependence of an individual burst?3) How much total electron loss do bursts produce globally?
FIREBIRD Science
Lorentzen, et al GRL 2001
> 1 MeV electrons Microbursts are short (<100ms)
bursts of electron precipitation from the radiation belts
Initial work started in the 1960s from balloon measurements
Studied sporadically since then (e.g. Aerospace and others)
Primary form of electron loss on the dayside?
FIREBIRD Payload
GOES-R Flight Spares
UNH is developing energetic particle sensor for the NOAA GOES-R mission (Lopate, Connell, McKibben)
Nearly identical package with footprint that fits onto FIRE boards
Project design changed during development rendering detectors obsolete for project
Flight quality detectors in sufficient number in bonded storage in UNH clean room
UNH (through ATK) requests release of detectors from NOAA to UNH for use by NSF on FIREBIRD (Agency to agency transfer)
