Abstract
The concept of the compact instrument SIDRA for measurements of energetic charge particle fluxes and the first results of laboratory tests of the separate units are presented. The SIDRA
instrument consists of one detector unit based on the high purity silicon PIN (ΔE, E) and rapid scintillation detectors, of analogue & digital signal processing units, and of one secondary power
supply module. Different objectives - scientific and also applied ones such as measurements of absorbed dose rates can be achieved in the outer space with the help of the SIDRA device.
Main features and parameters of the device such as weight, dimensions, power consumption as well as some electrical characteristics are presented.
