PG - 59-66 LID - S2214-5524(23)00022-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.lssr.2023.03.004 [doi] AB - The Hybrid Electronic Radiation Assessor (HERA) system is a Timepix-based ionizing radiation detector built for NASA Exploration-class crewed missions. The HERA performs data analysis on-system and generates telemetry messages for ingestion, display, and relay by the spacecraft. Several iterations of the hardware have been flown aboard the International Space Station as payloads to test system operation and gain experience with the hardware in the space radiation environment. The HERA system and its payload operations are described, and data collected by the various HERA systems are presented. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 The Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).
