# SPACEDOS02 - PIN diode dosimeter for manned spacecraft | ||
|
||
SPACEDOS is a active cosmic radiation dosimeter for use onboard manned spacecraft. It is designed as a replacement to standard passive detectors. | ||

# SPACEDOS03 - semiconductor-based ionizing radiation spectrometer | ||
|
||
![SPACEDOS03A front panel](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UniversalScientificTechnologies/SPACEDOS03/SPACEDOS03A/doc/img/SPACEDOS03.jpg) | ||
|
||
SPACEDOS03 is an open-source semiconductor particle detector (dosimeter and spectrometer) for space applications. The detector is based on a silicon PIN diode. The Detector is designed as autonomous for long-term measurement campaigns and therefore contains its power source from high-capacity battery cells and a recording medium in the form of an industrial SD card. The device is designed to be able to work for half a year continuously. | ||
|
||
The detector is mounted into a 3D-printed box that contains positions for passive TLDs and track detectors. The main purpose of the device is experimental testing of radiation shielding materials in the real environment. | ||
|
||

* Power supply 18650 Li-ion cells | ||
* Integration time depends on firmware setup | ||
* Data storage device: Industrial SLC SDcard | ||
* Dimensions - 120 x 90 x 62 mm | ||
* Weight - 447 grams (including SAFT batteries) |
