Welcome to RaPTeX
RaPTeX – Radiologic Particle Telescope eXperiment!
We are a team consisting of 12 students from UiT – The Arctic University of Norway, who is designing a payload that is going to be sent up in a rocket in march 2022 on the REXUS/BEXUS programme!
The RaPTeX team is participating in the REXUS 29/30 project of the REXUS/BEXUS programme. The RaPTeX experiment will fly on REXUS 29.
The REXUS/BEXUS programme is realized under a bilateral Agency Agreement between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Swedish National Space Agency (SNSA). The Swedish share of the payload has been made available to students from other European countries through the collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). Experts from DLR, SSC, ZARM and ESA provide technical support to the student teams throughout the project. EuroLaunch, the cooperation between the Esrange Space Center of SSC and the Mobile Rocket Base (MORABA) of DLR, is responsible for the campaign management and operations of the launch vehicles.
A team update
There has been a while since our last team update, but there is no doubt, the team has been working hard toward our goal ever since our last update! The team are currently working toward our next SED deadline in the end of April, and the project are coming along. The team have weekly meetings…
Mechanical mischief
While you have all been preparing for the holidays, our magical team of elves and reindeer has been making us the best Christmas present ever! They have received the REXUS module from ZARM, and they have received the bulkhead from our Swedish friends at SSC, and after a few minutes of admiring the shiny surfaces…
Update from the ASIC team
Since the pandemic, the ASIC team has had their hands full with the configurations of the ASIC. The ASIC has over a hundred different settings, so how do you find the right settings for our project? Well the obvious answer here is to do it by testing, and testing again, and experimenting a little, have…
