AMBER - Particle and Spacecraft Charging Sensor

AMBER (Active Monitor Box of Electrostatic Risks) is an equipment to monitor spacecraft charging and of the plasma populations at the origin of this charging.

Main features

AMBER was designed to monitor spacecraft charging and the plasma populations at the origin of this charging.
    • Double-head thermal electron and ion electrostatic analyzer
    • Selection of particles by setting internal High Voltage source
    • Powered and controlled by ICARE-NG
    • Sweeping energy [0 – 30keV]
    • 4 ION look directions
    • 4 ELECTRON look directions

CARMEN-3 is composed of ICARE-NG and AMBER equipment.

Technology Readiness Level of AMBER = TRL9
