MTCube - Memory Test CubeSat

The MTCube embeds the RES (Radiation Effects Study) experiment. RES is a payload developed by the LIRMM team containing COTS memories devices that were extensively studied and characterized under different types of radiation sources under accelerated beams (e.g, Heavy-Ions, Protons, and others). The main purpose of the mission is to characterize the sensitivity of different types of memories with respect to the space radiation environment focusing on Single-Event Effects.

2018 -- 2022

Activities:
  • Test and validation of the RES payload.
  • Development of a real-time monitoring system based on Django (Python web framework) to follow the in-flight scientific data generated by the payload.
