摘要

立方体卫星的发展和探空火箭发射频率的提高完全改变了太空计划的游戏规则，它使我们能够建造技术上可行且价格合理的太空仪器。因此，它给我们提供了一个很好的机会，使我们能够在超过气球实验限制的高度上测量宇宙射线的通量、方向甚至能量的小型宇宙射线探测器，并可能为建立一个研究宇宙射线物理的探测器星座打开新的大门。紧凑型闪烁体阵列探测器(ComSAD)是台湾国家太空组织资助的探空火箭任务。在本文中，我们介绍了ComSAD的概念、设计和性能，它也适用于未来的立方体卫星任务。

Compact Scintillator Array Detector (ComSAD) for sounding rocket and CubeSat missions

The development of CubeSats and more frequent launch chances of sounding rockets are a total game changer to the space program, and it allows us to build space instruments that are technologically feasible and a ﬀ ordable. Therefore, it gives us a good opportunity to build a small cosmic-ray detector which has capabilities to measure the ﬂux, direction, and even energy of cosmic rays at an altitude above the limitation of balloon experiments, and it may open a new door for building a constellation of detectors to study cosmic-ray physics. Compact Scintillator Array Detector (ComSAD) is a funded sounding rocket mission of Taiwan’s National Space Organization. In this paper, we present the concept, design, and performance of ComSAD which is also suitable for future CubeSat missions.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation (JAI) publishes papers describing instruments and components being proposed, developed, under construction and in use. JAI also publishes papers that describe facility operations, lessons learned in design, construction, and operation, algorithms and their implementations, and techniques, including calibration, that are fundamental elements of instrumentation. The journal focuses on astronomical instrumentation topics in all wavebands (Radio to Gamma-Ray) and includes the disciplines of Heliophysics, Space Weather, Lunar and Planetary Science, Exoplanet Exploration, and Astroparticle Observation (cosmic rays, cosmic neutrinos, etc.). Concepts, designs, components, algorithms, integrated systems, operations, data archiving techniques and lessons learned applicable but not limited to the following platforms are pertinent to this journal. Example topics are listed below each platform, and it is recognized that many of these topics are relevant to multiple platforms. Relevant platforms include: Ground-based observatories[...] Stratospheric aircraft[...] Balloons and suborbital rockets[...] Space-based observatories and systems[...] Landers and rovers, and other planetary-based instrument concepts[...]
