Abstract

Sharjah-Sat-1 is the first CubeSat to be designed and integrated at the Sharjah Academy for Astronomy, Space Sciences and Technology (SAASST), a research institute under the University of Sharjah (UoS) in the United Arab Emirates, with an active collaboration with Istanbul Technical University and Sabanci University in Turkey. The mission is due to launch in December 2022. Sharjah-Sat-1 hosts a primary payload of an improved X-Ray Detector (iXRD). The iXRD utilizes a CdZnTe crystal as an active detector to detect and measure bright and hard X-Ray sources and a tungsten collimator. The instrument’s detection range is 20-200 KeV at a spectral resolution of 6 Kev at 60 KeV [1]. The detector will be able to measure the flux of ionizing x-ray around the south Atlantic anomaly, the data of which will be shared to provide space situational awareness for other satellite operators to perform any preventative maneuvers to protect their space assets. This paper will discuss how the improved X-Ray Detector (iXRD) on-board the Sharjah-Sat-1 CubeSat can be utilized to provide space situational awareness.
