Model: MiniPIX SPACE
Brand: Advacam S.R.O.
Introduction
AdvancedMiniPIX SPACEis a cutting-edge particle camera designed for demanding space environments. As a compact, low-power radiation monitoring device, it is equipped with a Timepix3 chip for precise particle tracking and imaging. The device features a structurally reinforced design and has passed rigorous environmental validation per European Cooperation for Space Standardization (ECSS) standards, including humidity tests, tri-axial vibration tests, and thermal environment tests.
This camera is vacuum-compatible and operates stably at pressures below 10^-3 Pa. The MiniPIX series has been successfully deployed on the International Space Station and multiple satellites, demonstrating exceptional reliability and durability in extreme environments. The Timepix3 detector precisely records the position, energy, arrival time, and trajectory of each ionizing particle (such as X-ray photons), generating a complete dataset. Through particle trajectory analysis, key parameters such as particle type, flight direction, linear energy transfer (LET), and charge can be further derived.
The device is equipped with a passive cooling system and can be further enhanced via a Peltier cooler or a cooling plate on the back of the detector. An ambient temperature of 22°C is recommended for optimal performance.
