AtmoCube: Observation of the Earth Atmosphere from the Space to Study \u201cSpace Weather\u201d Effects

\u2014 AtmoCube represents an innovative measurement system for the study of the Earth atmosphere starting from altitude of the order of 600 km. It appears as a cubic nano-satellite that has dimensions of 10 710 710 cm3 with a total weight of 1 kg (aluminium structure). The main scientific instrument is a spectral dosimeter-radiometer allowing continuous monitoring of the radiation environment. The payload includes also a magnetometer belonging to the passive stabilization system. A GPS (Global Positioning System) provides a continuous measurement of the satellite position and allows to build a map of the measured atmospheric parameters. \u2014 AtmoCube represents an innovative measurement system for the study of the Earth atmosphere starting from altitude of the order of 600 km.
