Aims:
Objective is to advance the state-of-the-art of solid-state microdosimeters (SSMD) to design, develop, and test a flight-qualifiable engineering model by Dec 2012. Aims include:
1.1 Develop a benchtop system to advance the state-of-the-art of SSDM incorporating proven advancements into the flight engineering model
1.2 Develop a flight engineering model suitable as a personal SSDM
1.3 Develop improved SSDM sensors
1.4 Utilize computer modeling to support instrument development and compare with observations
1.5 Explore opportunities to transition to a flight program
