Through the act of counting and calculating the energy of individual photons emitted from elements, gamma ray detectors calculate electromagnetic radiation. Gamma rays are utilised in the medical field to guide the removal of malignancies during surgery and in cancer screening systems that have won numerous awards.
The high energy nuclei needed for the collisions are created by two machines: the cyclotron and synchrotron. Irradiation, the process by which gamma rays kill living things, can be extremely dangerous if utilised for any reason other than medical treatment.
The Global Gamma Ray Detectors market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
This research aims to give a general overview of gamma-ray detection in space using equipment on CubeSat spacecraft. Although first created for educational objectives, commercial and governmental organisations are now developing CubeSats more frequently.
The so-called “new space” paradigm and the new era of expanded private sector participation in space activities have been brought about by technological advancements that have resulted in the miniaturisation of components, the development of lighter and stronger materials suitable for space environments, and increased efficiency of power generation and power storage systems.
Over the past 60 years, gamma-ray detection in space has become more and more important. This began with the launching of satellite constellations for homeland security and nuclear proliferation monitoring, and it quickly ushered in a new era in science with the accidental discovery of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB).
Recently, this has developed into a diverse population of gamma-ray detectors already orbiting around the Earth at various elevations to accommodate the science targets for a variety of applications, including cosmology, general relativity, and astroparticle physics.
However, because the majority of these detectors are either large or demand a lot of power, small satellite missions cannot use them.
The development of CubeSats, which offered quicker and less expensive ways to demonstrate cutting-edge technologies for space applications, was vital to this paradigm shift.
CubeSats are the perfect instruments for studying astronomical and atmospheric events involving the emission of high energy photons because of the unheard-of variety of miniature electronic components that offer high performance at low power budgets, new widely available, reasonably priced photosensing technologies, and the development of additive manufacturing techniques.
