Description

The High-Energy Particle Detector 02 (HEPD-02) was launched in June 2025 as a payload on the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite CSES-02. HEPD-02 is equipped with monolithic active pixel sensors (MAPS) arranged to reconstruct the incoming direction of the charged particles entering the detector. It is the first time that MAPS are used in a space application. The technological solutions and in-flight performance of the HEPD-02 silicon tracker will be presented and discussed.
