Lucente, Marco; Lefevre, Carlo; Fiorenza, Emiliano +3 more
ISA is a three-axis accelerometer embarked on-board BepiColombo, a joint ESA/JAXA space mission launched on the 19th of October 2018 at 22.45 (local time) and devoted to put two spacecraft (MPO and MMO) around Mercury (2025), for a deeper investigation of the planet and its environment. ISA aims at measuring, directly and not by modelli…
Localization of cosmic gamma-ray bursts in interplanetary space with MGNS/BepiColombo and HEND/Mars Odyssey experiments
Golovin, D. V.; Kozyrev, A. S.; Litvak, M. L. +3 more
This paper describes the methods and results for the localization by triangulation of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) independently observed by two space experiments: the Mercury Gamma-ray and Neutron Spectrometer (MGNS) and the High Energy Neutron Detector (HEND). MGNS is onboard the MPO/BepiColombo mission and on a stage of cruise to Mercury wher…
