piDOSE-DCD/FM (Flight Model)

piDOSE-DCD

Space-Friendly™ Digital CubeSat Dosimeter


Do you work in the area of Space Weather or wish to fly your own radiation measurement satellite constellation? Are you looking for a smart, miniature and low power space-grade radiation sensor? The piDOSE-DCD Industry's First Digital CubeSat Dosimeter (Geiger Counter) is the right unit for your needs!

The 3.3V @ 30mW Ultra Low Power, low voltage solid state radiation detector replaces old, vintage, bulky, high-voltage Geiger-Müller tubes in a matchbox-sized form factor. The module provides data over the UART interface. The easy-to-parse format with ASCII lines are terminated with CR+LF and contains human-readable values.


Part Number: piDOSE-DCD/FM (Flight Model)
