TL;DR
The Sun CubE OnE (SEE) CubeSat aims to provide multi-wavelength, high-resolution observations of solar flares and UV emissions to enhance understanding of Sun-Earth interactions and space weather effects.
Contribution
This is the first proposed CubeSat mission combining gamma, X-ray, and UV observations with high temporal resolution for solar activity studies.
Findings
Design of a multi-wavelength payload with SiPM detectors
Capability to monitor solar flares with 10 kHz cadence
Potential to improve space weather prediction models
Abstract
The Sun cubE onE (SEE) is a 12U CubeSat mission proposed for a phase A/B study to the Italian Space Agency that will investigate Gamma and X-ray fluxes and ultraviolet (UV) solar emission to support studies in Sun-Earth interaction and Space Weather from LEO. More in detail, SEE's primary goals are to measure the flares emission from soft-X to Gamma ray energy range and to monitor the solar activity in the Fraunhofer Mg II doublet at 280 nm, taking advantage of a full disk imager payload. The Gamma and X-ray fluxes will be studied with unprecedented temporal resolution and with a multi-wavelength approach thanks to the combined use of silicon photodiode and silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) -based detectors. The flare spectrum will be explored from the keV to the MeV range of energies by the same payload, and with a cadence up to 10 kHz and with single-photon detection capabilities to…
