The Norwegian-German Cosmic Particle Telescope (CPT-SCOPE) instrument will explore the properties of sub-atomic particles aboard the BEXUS balloon in 2015.

The Cosmic Particle Telescope (CPT-SCOPE) instrument aims primarily to study the
altitude-dependent flux density of sub-atomic particles, namely electrons and protons
at energies of 1-25 MeV and 20-150 MeV, respectively. The instrument uses particle
telescope geometry, a shielded stack of semiconductor sensors and absorber layers,
and a radiation-hard application specific integrated circuit (ASIC)

for read-out. The
detector front-end electronics are realised using an ASIC-FPGA design which is
interfaced to memory and a microcontroller for external communications. We will use
multiple particle telescopes for the detection of electrons and protons. In this way the
particle environment in near space can be investigated. Furthermore, the particle
telescope geometry will be tested and optimised. In addition, the possible occurrence
of single event upsets inside of the read-out ASIC are identified internally and logged. This data helps to characterise function and radiation hardness of the ASIC. The rate
of single event upsets may be compared to the measured particle rates by the
telescopes. We will be able to provide relevant flight heritage for the used ASIC and
therefore come closer towards the implementation of a compact radiation monitor
able to be placed aboard small satellites or cubesats. The CPT-SCOPE instrument is
proposed for the BEXUS student balloon mission in 2015.

EN: Last week our team delivered the final version of our Student Experiment Documentation (SED-document) to ESA. You can find the full version of the document, and a general description of our project published on the link below.
This delivery marks the official end of our BEXUS cycle. It has been a great experience for the CPT-SCOPE team. More publications about our final results and future are coming soon.

NO: Sist uke leverte vi den endelige versjonen av Student Experiment Documentation (SED) dokumentet til ESA. Dokumentet og en generel beskrivelse av CPT-SCOPE prosjektet ble publisert av ESA på linken under.
Leveringen av SED dokumentet markerer slutten av vår BEXUS syklus. Det har vært en fantastisk erfaring for oss i CPT-SCOPE prosjektet. Mer publikasjoner av CPT-SCOPE sine resultater og framtid vil komme snart.

DE: Letzte Woche hat das CPT-SCOPE team die endliche Version der Student Experiment Documentation (SED Dokument) an ESA überreicht. Sie können das ganze Dokument und eine generelle Übersicht über das CPT-SCOPE Prosjekt finden, indem Sie dem Link am Ende dieses Posts folgen.
Mit der Übergabe der endlichen Version des SED Dokuments markieren wir das offiziellen Ende unseres BEXUS Zyklus. Unsere Teilnahme war eine fantastische Erfahrung für das ganze CPT-SCOPE Team.
Mehr Publikationen vom CPT-SCOPE Project und mehr Information über unsere zukünftige Arbeit werden bald folgen.

EN: Last week the CPT-SCOPE participated in the Futurescapes symposium for new media, technology and the humanities.
Here we encouraged all students to engage more in student programs like REXUS/BEXUS by sharing some of our own experiences through the CPT-SCOPE project.
We wish to thank the organisers and partners of Futurescapes for a great event!

NO: Sist uke deltok CPT-SCOPE på Futurescapes symposium for new media, technology and the humanities. Her oppmuntret vi alle studenter til å delta mer i studentprogrammer som REXUS/BEXUS ved å dele noen av våre erfaringer gjennom CPT-SCOPE prosjektet.
Vi ønsker å takke alle partnere og organisatører til Futurescapes for en nydelig event!

DE: Letzte Woche hat das CPT-SCOPE am Futurescapes symposium for new media, technology and the humanities teilgenommen. Hier haben wir alle Studenten aufgefordert mer an Studentprogrammen wie REXUS/BEXUS teil zu nehmen.
Wir bedanken uns bei allen organisatoren und Partnern von Futurescapes für einen guten event!

En: Early this week Timo won the NIFRO prize 2016 for his master thesis! Part of his master was tied to his work on the CPT-SCOPE project through his work at IDEAS in Oslo. The NIFRO prize is awarded every year for the best masters thesis related to space research and technology. We congratulate Timo, and wish him all the best for his future work at IDEAS!

NO: Tidlig denne uken vant Timo årets NIFRO-pris for sin masteroppgave! En del av masteroppgaven var knyttet til arbeidet han utførte på CPT-SCOPE igjennom hans arbeid på IDEAS i Oslo. NIFRO-prisen blir delt ut hvert år av Norsk industriforum for romvirksomhet i samarbeid med NAROM til beste masteroppgaven innen romteknologi og romvirksomhet. Vi ønsker Timo lykke til med sitt framtidige arbeid på IDEAS!

DE: Diese Woche hat Timo den NIFRO Preis für seine Masteraufgabe erhalten! Ein Teil seiner Masteraufgabe war mit CPT-SCOPE und seiner Arbeit bei IDEAS in Oslo verbunden. Der NIFRO Preis wird jedes Jahr für die beste Masteraufgabe in Raumindustrie und Forschung vergeben. Wir wünschen Timo auch für die Zukunft viel Glück mit seiner Arbeit bei IDEAS!

En: Yesterday the norwegian netnewspaper on popular science and technology www.forskning.no postet an article on the CPT-SCOPE. The article containes an interview with Timo in which he shares some of our experiences from our work and launch campaign. The article is a good read for anyone interested but beware it is written in Norwegian.

No: Igår publiserte nettavisen www.forskning.no et innlegg om CPT-SCOPE. Innlegget inneholder blant annet et interview med Timo hvor han deler erfaringer fra vårt arbeid og vår launch campaign. Dersom du har litt tid og ønsker noe spennende å lese anbefales innlegget.

De: Die Norwegische Netzzeitung www.forskning.no hat einen artikkel über das CPT-SCOPE publiziert. In diesem artikel teilt Timo einige unserer erfahrungen mit dem CPT-SCOPE und mit der Launch campaign. Der artikel ist auf Norwegisch aber ist zu empfehlen im falle das man Norwegisch lesen kann.

Den første norske gruppen studenter til å være med på ESAs REXUS/BEXUS-program, har hatt en vellykket ballongferd. For minst en av studentene i gruppen førte deltakelsen i studentprogrammet til jobb i romindustrien.

The CPT-SCOPE flight campaign is finished. We are on the way back to Berlin / Oslo. Greetings from Kiruna airport (Timo, Julian und Lucas). Anton returned home already on Sunday. Thank you for supporting our project.

11/10/2015

A successful flight campaign comes to an end. The following weeks will be analysis of all the data we got and presentations of our results.
That`s why we would like to thank all our sponsors who made our participation in the BEXUS 20 campaign possible!

Especially IDEAS (Integrated Detector Electronics AS) our main project sponsor who supported us throughout the whole mission and all our financial supporters! (Check them out at our Homepage: http://www.cpt-scope.com/node/13)

Thank you all for making our success possible!

A few minutes ago the recovery team finally returned with the BEXUS 20 and 21 gondola. It seems like the impact was pretty harsh and this gondola will not be flying ever again... Some stabilization straps ripped into pieces and the whole cage is bent.

But on the positive side first inspections found CPT-Scope mostly intact and first data analysis show pretty good results which got logged for a total of 25 hours. Further inspection will now show if any internal electronics got damaged by that heavy impact...

After some delay due to technical issues, we finally got to start our experiments inside the BEXUS20 Gondola this morning

10/10/2015

After cutdown we just lost connection to the gondola a few hundred meters above a forest in Lapland. All our data is securely saved and looks pretty promising.

Here you will find the whole GPS flight track of our experiment in the BEXUS 20 gondola. (http://1drv.ms/1R3TLUy)

Now it is time to stop working and start celebrating our successful flight!

10/10/2015

Floating altitude of about 28km reached.
As a bonus we got to take pictures of the balloon from our groundstation about 100km away. If you look hard enough you can even see the gondola with our experiment in it.
