Testing the neutrino detector’s passive shielding design, active vetoing system, and the rate of false double-pulse signals in a space environment. |
| Description |
Testing the neutrino detector’s passive shielding design, active vetoing system in a space environment, and the rate of false double-pulse signals in a space environment. Detector unit will be placed on one end of the CubeSat, while custom supporting cards made by NASA’s NSSTC at MSFC will be just above it. Will be fixed in place with slide key mechanism and additional restraints. |
