<title>Laboratory testing of a space patrol apparatus for solar ionizing radiation</title>

Abstract

One of the gaps of the modern solar-terrestrial physics is an absence of the permanent space monitoring of the soft X-ray and extreme ultraviolet radiation from the full disk of Sun. The permanent Solar Patrol at the main part of the ionizing radiation spectra 0.8 - 115 (119) nm does not exist. These measurements are very complicated because of the technical and methodological difficulties. One of these difficulties is testing of the apparatus for soft ionizing radiation measurements. The optical-electronic apparatus for Solar Patrol Mission consists of X-ray and EUV radiometer and EUV- spectrometer. In this paper the first results of testing the optical-electronic apparatus for the Solar Patrol Mission are presented.
