Abstract

This paper provides a detailed description of the Energetic Particle Telescope (EPT) accommodated on board the PROBA-V satellite launched on May 7th, 2013 on a LEO, 820 km altitude, 98.7 ° inclination and a 10:30-11:30 Local Time at Descending Node. The EPT is an ionizing particle spectrometer that ...
