Abstract :
A miniature radiation monitor (MRM) device has been developed, which utilizes a charge-coupled device (CCD) as its sensitive element. Its shielding configuration has been designed to mitigate the displacement damage threat in space environments, while also introducing a good degree of directional sensitivity.
