Abstract
The Falcon Solid-state Energetic Electron Detector (SEED) is a single element particle telescope designed to measure 14 to 145 keV electrons in geostationary Earth orbit. The instrument is designed to be a low-resource space weather sensor and utilizes commercial-off-the-shelf components to further reduce cost. The instrument is calibrated on-orbit against the Los Alamos National Laboratory Space Atmospheric Burst Report System plasma spectrometer co-located on the same STPSat-6 satellite, as well as electron measurements from NOAA GOES satellites.
