A REAL Game-Changing Instrument Arrives in Montana for Space

A first-of-its-kind particle instrument meant to characterize the forces that cause radiation to rain down into Earth’s atmosphere safely arrived in Montana earlier this week. Developed at Johns Hopkins APL as part of NASA’s Relativistic Electron Atmospheric Loss (REAL) CubeSat mission, the compact detector marks an unmatched feat in instrument design.
