  11. History of the problem • Discovery of electron radiation belts onboard ELECTRON satellites in 60’s. • MAXIS (1996) experiment onboard balloons, Kiruna. High-energy electrons>500 keV precipitations: Flux -5 х 1025particles for eight days was detected at low altitudes . Total number of trapped electrons – 2 х 1025.

  12. 12345678 The X-rays (produced from ~1.7 MeV electrons) measurements showed that there are two main types of precipitation – long-term (~100 s) and short enhancements (~10 s) modulating the count rate. MAXIS measurements.

  13. Precipitation of ~100 keV electrons from radiation belts measured in SAMPEX experiment.

  14. Scientific objectives • Magnetosphere relativistic electron acceleration and precipitation research. • Study of high-energy particle acting on the upper Atmosphere and ionosphere. • Searchof transient phenomena in possible connection with energetic particle interactions in the Atmosphere • Study of acceleration processes in the Atmosphere as the possible source of high energy magnetosphere electrons

  15. Crucial demands • Simultaneous observations of energetic electron & proton flux and low-frequency electromagnetic wave intensity variations with high temporal resolution. • Fine time structure measurements of transient lightning events in optics, UV, X- and gamma rays. • Monitor detection of charge and neutral background particles in different areas of near-Earth space.

  16. Demands to the instruments • electron detectors: wide energy range (~0.1-10.0 MeV), temporal resolution ~1 ms, pitch-angle distribution measuring, wide dynamical range (from ~0.1 up to 105 part./cm2s). • Low-frequency analyzer: measuring of two field components at least, frequency bands ~0.1-10 kHz. • X- and gamma-ray detectors: temporal resolution ~1 mcs, sensitivity ~10-8 erg/cm2 for burst. • Additional: detecting of protons with energies > 1 MeV, wide-field observe of Atmosphere in optics, UV, X- and gamma-rays with possibility of imagination in optics.

  17. Instruments • DRG-1 & DRG-2 - two identical detectors of X-, gamma-rays and high-energy electrons of high temporal resolution and sensitivity • DRG-3 - three axedirected detectors of energetic electrons and protons • Telescope-T - optical imager • DUF - UV detector • NChA - low-frequency analyser • RChA - radio-frequency analyser • DOSTEL - dosimeter module • BE - module of commands and data collection
