Development of A Methodology and Hardware-Software Complex for Multi-Level Monitoring of High-Energy Particles

This article presents the development of a methodology and hardware-software complex for multilevel monitoring of high-energy particles ‎in the Earth's atmosphere. The study is aimed at eliminating the deficit of complex experimental data on the distribution of radiation ‎throughout the entire thickness of the atmosphere, obtained synchronously from ground stations, stratospheric probes and spacecraft. The ‎authors describe the creation of a stratospheric probe equipped with radiation detector, GPS module, atmospheric parameter sensors and ‎data transmission system. The software of the probe and ground station provides for the collection, processing and visualization of telemetry ‎in real time. The experiment included synchronous measurements from three platforms: ground station, stratospheric probe and spacecraft, ‎which made it possible to get a vertical radiation profile. The results showed a decrease in the radiation background in the surface layer and ‎its increase with height, confirming the hypothesis of the weakening effect of the atmosphere. The developed complex is proposed as a ‎flexible platform for further research in the field of space meteorology and radiation safety‎.
