- Abstract
The SINP MSU is implementing a program to create compact detectors for studying the atmosphere and near-Earth space from small spacecrafts of the Cubesat type. Within the framework of this program, the AURA detector of ultraviolet radiation of the Earth's atmosphere described in this article has been developed and tested. The device is a four-channel photometer based on silicon photomultiplier from the SensL Co. Its compactness, low supply voltage, and durability are the factors that determine the advantages for its use in nanosatellites.
