GOES-R SEISS Instrument Passes Pre-Shipment Review
The completed sensors that comprise the Space Environment In-Situ Suite (SEISS) instrument that will fly on the GOES-R satellite are shown here after successfully passing the instrument’s pre-shipment review. The SEISS sensors work together to monitor radiation hazards in space. Listed clockwise: Magnetospheric Particle Sensor-Low Energy Range (MPS-LO), Magnetospheric Particle Sensor-High Energy Range (MPS-HI), Solar and Galactic Proton Sensor X-Harness (SGPS +X), Solar and Galactic Proton Sensor Y-Harness (SGPS+Y), Data Processing Unit (DPU) and Energetic Heavy Ion Sensor (EHIS).
