CERN launched a cubesat into space to study the effect of cosmic rays on electronics
Specialists from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) have developed and launched into space the CELESTA cubesat (CERN latchup and radmon experiment student satellite), designed to study how cosmic rays and other charged particles affect the operation of microchips and other electronics.
“If the CELESTA mission is successful, then the Space RadMon device developed by us can be adapted to work inside microsatellites, which are now used to create communication probes. It will allow us to assess their condition and predict when it will be necessary to replace such satellites.”– said CERN researcher Ruben Garcia Alia.
The satellite was launched into low-Earth orbit last night by a Vega-C launch vehicle launched from the CSG launch site in French Guyana. CELESTA, which belongs to the category of microsatellites, is equipped with the only scientific instrument – the Space RadMon radiation sensor.
The instrument consists of a miniaturized version of the ionizing radiation sensors used at the Large Hadron Collider. Using this device, the scientists plan to measure the typical frequency of charged particles hitting the electronics of orbiting probes operating at an altitude of several thousand kilometers from the Earth’s surface.
In this region of near-Earth space, as physicists explain, is the so-called inner Van Allen belt. It is one of two zones in the Earth’s orbit, inside which electrons and high-energy protons accumulate, “caught” by the Earth’s magnetic field. The launch of CELESTA into this region of space will help scientists quickly assess how often charged particles get into microchips and other electronic components of satellites.
The researchers hope the data they collect will help develop systems to estimate the radiation load on orbiting probes and predict when they need to be replaced. This is especially true for fleets of communications satellites, whose electronics are most vulnerable to cosmic ray impacts due to their small size and low cost, Aliya said.

The most powerful and most economical Haval Dargo 2 has gone on sale. 326 hp, consumption 1.85 l/100 km, lifetime warranty on the power plant and a camping mosquito lamp – for $23,000
Today in China, the Haval Big Dog (aka the second-generation Haval Dargo crossover) was officially presented as a plug-in hybrid. This is the most powerful version of the second Dargo, and it is also the most economical.
Externally, the car is no different from its regular gasoline counterparts, except for the logo: it is made on a blue background, while pure gasoline versions have a black background under the logo. The design of the second Dargo is made in the spirit of the first generation car, but it is impossible to confuse them, especially when looking at it in profile or from the rear.
Dimensions are 4705 x 1908 x 1780 mm, wheelbase is 2810 mm. The approach and departure angles are 24° and 30°, the minimum ground clearance is 200 mm (in China it is measured when the car is loaded). Among the interesting features is the presence of a 220 V socket with an output power of 3.3 kW for powering any external consumers and… a removable camping mosquito lamp, which will be appreciated by lovers of adventures and road trips.
The power plant is based on a 1.5-liter turbo engine. It works in conjunction with an electric motor and a 2-speed DHT transmission. The total power of the power plant elements is 326 hp, torque – 530 Nm. Consumption in hybrid operating mode is only 1.85 l/100 km (but with a discharged traction battery it will be three times more, the range on pure electricity is 105 km, and the full range of a fueled and charged SUV is more than 1000 km.
