论文摘要
Amical SAT是一个专用的2U立方体，已经开发出使用专用成像仪监测极光排放。它旨在帮助重建地球极光区域中最高30 keV的低能电子通量。它包括一个完全在格勒布大学航天中心设计的成像仪。成像仪使用1.3 MPIXELS稀疏的RGB CMOS检测器和宽场目标（F = 22.5 mm）。卫星平台是由波兰公司Satrevolution建造的。它于2020年9月3日从Kuru（法国圭亚那）上登上Vega Flight 16号航班，于2020年10月制作了第一张图像。本文的目的是描述有效载荷的设计，尤其是Optics和Optimity Electronics的设计，以描述有效载荷用于太空天气的使用。对第一个图像进行了初步分析，显示了该仪器在极光监测中的相关性。该分析允许从第一个图像之一重建局部电子输入通量在曝光时间内大气顶部的局部电子输入通量。
AMICal sat, a dedicated 2U cubesat, has been developed, in order to monitor the auroral emissions, with a dedicated imager. It aims to help to reconstruct the low energy electrons fluxes up to 30 keV in Earth auroral regions. It includes an imager entirely designed in Grenoble University Space Center. The imager uses a 1.3 Mpixels sparse RGB CMOS detector and a wide field objective (f=22.5 mm). The satellite platform has been built by the polish company Satrevolution. Launched September, 3rd, 2020 from Kuru (French Guyana) on board the Vega flight 16, it produces its first images in October 2020. The aim of this paper is to describe the design of the payload especially the optics and the proximity electronics, to describe the use of the payload for space weather purpose. A preliminary analysis of a first image showing the relevance of such an instrument for auroral monitoring is performed. This analysis allowed to reconstruct from one of the first images the local electron input flux at the top of the atmosphere during the exposure time.
