Project summary
THOR-SR is a high-energy astrophysics pathfinder mission whose scientific payload is based on CdTe and Si detectors to be launched on board the Space Rider. It will address gamma ray astrophysics, space weather and TGF monitoring, by performing spectroscopy, imaging, time variability and polarimetry. It is a large field of view instrument ( up to 2𝛑 sr) provided by a 4 layers CdTe stack detector, operating in the 0.1–10 MeV energy band.
