CAMELOT
This page describes Cubesats Applied for MEasuring and LOcalising Transients (CAMELOT) and provides more information including publications, presentations, etc.
CAMELOT will be a constellation of at least nine 3U CubeSats (10 cm x 10 cm x 30 cm) each composed of 4 CsI(Tl) scintillator detectors read out by silicon Multi-Pixel Photon Counters (MPPC). CAMELOT will automatically detect gamma-ray transients onboard (GRBs, SGRs, Solar flares, TGFs, etc.), sending alerts to the ground to allow rapid calculation of the localization of the source via triangulation at LEO and to allow quick follow-up observations. CAMELOT is currently in the phase of feasibility study and the detectors are being developed and tested.
