Abstract: The Neutral Atom Image System with High energetic particles (NAIS-H) developed for a Chinese mission of Magnetosphere Ionosphere and Thermosphere (MIT) capable to obtain the global map of the plasma distribution with a high temporal-spatial resolution in support this mission. The calibration of detector was an important technical task in the development, which is the fundamental basis of data analysis and inversions.

Abstract: Radiation risk of astronauts during the flight in low earth orbit (LEO) and deep space exploration is mainly from the exposure of galactic cosmic ray (GCR). The radiation dose from GCR is the basis for the assessment of astronauts' radiation risk. In 2013, a new estimation method for the assessment of astronauts' radiation dose was presented by the International Committee on Radiological Protection (ICRP), so as to improve the assessment's accuracy of the radiation dose from heavy ions in space. Based on this method, a Monte Carlo program was developed for simulation of the particle transportation in materials and a voxel phantom of Chinese adult male was realized in this program to represent the astronaut. With this program, the fluence to dose conversion coefficients for the organs of astronauts were calculated for the isotropic exposure by particles with the atomic number from 1 to 92. The radiation dose to astronauts in LEO from GCR was also estimated. �2015, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (BUAA). All right reserved.

Abstract: This paper introduces the structure and working principle of the Neutral Atom Imaging System-High (NAIS-H) which is in the MIT project. Based on the testing needs of the instrument, we have designed ground test equipment, including the circuit system and the host computer system. In this paper, we show the structure and working principle of the ground test for NAIS-H, and tell structure and java programming of the sub modules of the host computer system in detail, such as API communicating system, data analyzing system and data saving system. At last, we test the equipment, and the result shows the ground test system has good performance and achieves the design requirement.
