GOALS ctd. SPACERAD wish to motivate industry to support the design of small size, reliable, high precision satellites capable to withstand cosmic radiation, and able to monitor with accuracy the radiation environment around the Earth and its periodic modifications... should deliver compact detectors such as silicon trackers, silicon and scintillating calorimeters, time of flight detectors, transition radiation detectors, ring imaging Cerenkov detectors, magnets, UV detectors (demonstrators) SPACERADSPACERADSPACERADSPACERAD

...develop new methods for fundamental research exploring the different forms of radiation reaching our planet ….develop new methods for simulation and study of the effects of cosmic radiation on electronics and software tools for space applications ….stimulate the developments of new CPU- intensive algorithms to study the behaviour and development of cosmic radiation...should be a platform for joint cooperation e.g. to perform comparisons and integrated measurements among ground and space experiments SPACERADSPACERADSPACERADSPACERAD GOALS ctd.

...should develop advanced technologies for fast triggering and advanced warning for Radiation Intensive Events...should integrate the diverse research activities in cosmic rays („Job sharing“)... should include groups who will start on the related fields and provide training for young researchers SPACERADSPACERADSPACERADSPACERAD
