Abstract

We discussed the possibilities of using cubesat nanosatellites for studying solar cosmic rays. SCR electron fluxes in the polar caps at an altitude of ~550 km were detected. The measurements were carried out with DeCoR scintillation detectors operated at several cubesats of Moscow State University during the solar cosmic ray event on September 6–21, 2022.
