LOOM (pLatform fOr cOsmic Measurements) is a platform for measuring cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere. The platform consists of two ArduSiPM detectors, a GPS for time and position, a Pressure and temperature meter, and a mini acquisition computer. All the measurements are tagged in time with an accuracy of 25 ns and recorded on a microSD. The system has been validated up to an altitude of 34 km and is continuously evolving launch by launch (missions: EOS, MoCRiS, Stage INFN OCRA 2022, MiraCosmos 2022, Mocris 2 2023). Our interest is to popularize scientific knowledge of cosmic rays while using the platform to validate new low-cost commercial advanced technology for future satellite systems to use in scientific and commercial programs.
Details on the assembly and use of the system are free of charge to those who wish to use it. For more information, contact :
