  3. Cosmic Radiation Diagram of Cosmic Ray Air Shower [14]. Diagram for layers of Earth’s atmosphere [16].

  4. Application of GEM Detector • High altitude aircraft (15 km) • Suborbital vehicle (80 km) • Directional radiation monitoring • Response to incoming radiation • Reduce ionizing radiation exposure F104-B Starfighter [8]. Blue Origin New Shepard [5].

  5. GEM Detector Fundamentals • Originally CERN based project for particle physics • Detection works through the use of electron avalanching Cross sectional view of foil arrangement inside detector for a triple GEM foil detector [7]. Cross sectional view of holes inside GEM foils [7].
