The High Energy Particle Detector HEPD-02 is primarily devoted to observe fluxes of cosmic-ray electrons, protons and light nuclei, with kinetic energies in the MeV range – up to a few hundreds. HEPD-02 will be hosted on-board the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite CSES-02, on a quasi-polar, low-Earth orbit; the launch is currently foreseen during 2025.
The CSES mission, coordinated by...
The Zirè detector is one of the two scientific payloads of the NUSES satellite, which is currently under construction and test. Zirè aims to measure electrons, protons, and light nuclei in an kinetic energy range spanning from a few MeVs up to several hundred MeVs, enabling the study of low-energy cosmic rays, space weather phenomena, and potential Magnetosphere-Lithosphere-Ionosphere Coupling...
The General Anti Particle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a balloon-borne cosmic-ray experiment expected to be launched during the Antarctic summer season 25/26.
Its primary science goal is to search for light antinuclei in cosmic rays at kinetic energies below 0.25 GeV/n, as a possible indirect dark matter signature.
GAPS will measure the antiproton component with unprecedented statistics in an...
LISA will be the first space-based gravitational wave observatory sensitive to the unexplored frequency band of 0.1 mHz – 1 Hz. It will consist of three identical spacecraft (SC) 2.5 million km away from each other. Each SC will be equipped with lasers and free-falling Au/Pt solid cubes (known as Test Masses, TMs). Gravitational waves will be detected by measuring small variations in the...
