RML-RAD space radiation monitor is a low-resource and high-performance instrumentation designed
for space weather real-time monitoring purposes in accordance with related requirements of the
European Space Agency (ESA) utilising a silicon detector telescope system, called RADTEL. The instrument is capable to measure the energy distribution and flux dynamics of protons, electrons and heavy ions. The instrument is planned to be demonstrated on a dedicated SmallSat mission within the
upcoming years.
RADLITE is the miniaturised version of the RML-RAD space radiation monitor designed especially for
CubeSat missions by fitting into 0.6-1.0U CubeSat volume and requiring extremely low resources
regarding power, mass and data downlink. The instrument utilises one or even two perpendicular located silicon detector telescope system(s) to measure the energy distribution and flux dynamics of protons, electrons and heavy ions. The instrument technology was successfully operated for in-orbit
demonstration on board the RADCUBE 3U CubeSat mission.

RADMAG-L
Complex Space Weather Monitor System
RADMAG-L instrument concept relies on the Distributed Space Weather Sensor System (D3S) concept of ESA utilizing hosted secondary payloads for operational space weather monitoring. The instrument is providing the combination of a radiation monitor (using a silicon detector telescope system) with a magnetometer. In addition, the system is fully scalable, thus additional interface electronics and intelligence can be added for customisation, thus an external boom system can be controlled, and additional power supply and digital processing capabilities can be added to cover a wide range of hosting interface requirements. By combining space radiation and magnetic field measurements the most relevant space weather products could be handled coherently within one single instrument package capable to host onboard as many platforms as it is possible. The development is founded by the European Space Agency (ESA).
