The Falcon Solid‐state Energetic Electron Detector (FalconSEED) is an energetic charged particle sensor that has been developed and tested at the United States Air Force Academy in an effort to monitor electron flux across the energy range of 14 to 145 keV in geosynchronous orbit. This sensor has been developed to complement ongoing efforts by the Air Force Research Laboratory to advance a comprehensive space environment sensor suite, Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE3), for anomaly resolution. In addition, FalconSEED is intended to demonstrate the ability to operate a radiation sensor based on predominantly commercial off the shelf components in the geosynchronous environment. This paper describes the design, development, and calibration of FalconSEED. The electron energy spectrum of interest for the FalconSEED sensor is 14 to 145 keV, and is intended to supplement data acquired from the CEASE3 instrument for anomaly resolution. The calibrations at the Space Atmospheric Research Center at the United States Air Force Academy and Kirtland Air Force Base were used to first establish the conversion between histogram bin number and deposited energy in the sensor, and second have been used to determine the geometric factor as a function of energy. The FalconSEED will be integrated as a science payload on the Space Test Program Satellite‐6 which also includes the first flight of the CEASE3 instrument and is scheduled to launch in 2021.

猎鹰固态高能电子探测器（SEED）的校准

猎鹰固态高能电子探测器（FalconSEED）是一种高能带电粒子传感器，已在美国空军学院开发和测试，旨在监控地球同步轨道上14至145 keV能量范围内的电子通量。开发此传感器是为了补充空军研究实验室正在进行的工作，以推进综合的空间环境传感器套件紧凑型环境异常传感器（CEASE3），以解决异常问题。此外，FalconSEED旨在证明其在地球同步环境中主要基于现成的商用组件来操作辐射传感器的能力。本文介绍了FalconSEED的设计，开发和校准。FalconSEED传感器感兴趣的电子能谱为14至145 keV，旨在补充从CEASE3仪器获取的数据以解决异常。在美国空军学院和Kirtland空军基地的太空大气研究中心进行的校准首先用于建立直方图箱数与传感器中沉积能量之间的转换，其次用于确定几何因子作为能量的功能。FalconSEED将作为科学有效载荷集成在6号卫星太空测试计划中，该计划还包括CEASE3仪器的首次飞行，并计划于2021年发射。在美国空军学院和Kirtland空军基地的太空大气研究中心进行的校准首先用于建立直方图箱数与传感器中沉积能量之间的转换，其次用于确定几何因子作为能量的功能。FalconSEED将作为科学有效载荷集成在6号卫星太空测试计划中，该计划还包括CEASE3仪器的首次飞行，并计划于2021年发射。在美国空军学院和Kirtland空军基地的太空大气研究中心进行的校准首先用于建立直方图箱数与传感器中沉积能量之间的转换，其次用于确定几何因子作为能量的功能。FalconSEED将作为科学有效载荷集成在6号卫星太空测试计划中，该计划还包括CEASE3仪器的首次飞行，并计划于2021年发射。
