THE SPACE TELESCOPE NINA: RESULTS OF A BEAM TEST CALIBRATION

Abstract In June 1998 the telescope NINA will be launched in space on board of the Russian satellite Resource-01 n.4. The main scientific objective of the mission is the study of the anomalous, galactic and solar components of the cosmic rays in the energy interval 10–200 MeV/n. The core of the instrument is a silicon detector whose performances have been tested with a particle beam at the GSI Laboratory in Germany in 1997; we report here on the results obtained during the beam calibration

Experiment NINA: investigation of low energy nuclear fluxes in the near-Earth space RID G-6769-2011

The mission NINA is the first step of a wide scientific program named WiZard-RIM, conceived to make extensive studies on the Anomalous Component and the isotopic composition of the cosmic rays from hydrogen to iron, in the energy range 10-100 MeV/n. NINA is a silicon detector which is going to Ay on the Russian Resource 01 n.4 satellite by the end of 1997. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V
