The overall goal of the Terrestrial Rays Analysis and Detection (TRYAD) mission is to use a pair of 6U cubesats designed to simultaneously measure terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) from LEO in order to derive constraints on the electric fields that accelerate the electrons responsible for gamma-ray emissions.The Payload is a gamma-ray scintillation detector that is comprised of four plastic scintillator bars with silicon photomultiplier (SiPMs) arrays at the end of each bar to detect visible scintillation light produced by gamma-ray interaction with the detector. These detected events are time stamped and correlated to detections between each spacecraft and the world-wide lightning network.The satellites will be launched as secondary payloads aboard SpaceX Transporter 13 No Earlier Than March 1, 2025. It will be inserted into an SSO orbit at 510 km apogee and 510 km perigee.Transmission will begin 5 minutes after deploy, and cease at the end of the mission, less than two years later. Atmospheric friction will slow the satellite and reduce the altitude of the orbit, until deorbiting occurs less than 5 years after launch. See the Orbital Debris Assessment Report for details.The two spacecraft, TRYAD-1 and TRYAD-2, are identical units with dimensions of 366.0 cm x 239.4 cm x 109.6 cm (stowed configuration). The total mass of each spacecraft is about 8.5 Kg.
The overall goal of the REAL mission is to collect scientific data on the physical mechanisms responsible for scattering radiation belt electrons into the Earth’s atmosphere and to validate a particle instrument design. The results from REAL will improve predictive models of Earth’s radiation belts, and will advance our understanding of space weather.The satellite will be launched aboard SpaceX Transporter 13 NET March 1, 2025. It will be inserted into a circular orbit at 510 km, on an inclination from the equator of 97.4 degrees.Transmission will begin no earlier than 45 minutes after spacecraft deployment and cease after 6 months. Atmospheric friction will slow the satellite and reduce the altitude of the orbit, until deorbiting occurs about 2 years after launch. See the Orbital Debris Assessment Report for details.The spacecraft is a single unit with the dimensions of 3 stacked 10 cm X 10 cm X 10 cm CubeSat modules (giving an overall dimension of 10 cm X 10 cm X 34.05 cm.) The total mass is about 3.9 kg
