Abstract

The first two units of the ESA Next Generation Radiation Monitor (NGRM) sensor are flying onboard the European Data Relay System, Satellite-C (EDRS-C), and the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich (S-6), providing critical information related to the space radiation environment. This work presents a first evaluation and analysis of the measurements of the unit hosted on EDRS-C during the geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) of the satellite. The evaluation studies include comprehensive comparisons with measurements from other radiation monitors and science-class experiments. NGRM datasets will become publicly available in real time from the space weather (SWE) data center through dedicated applications contributing to the monitoring of SWE and the characterization of the space radiation environment.
