| Abstract | The nanosat/cubesat revolution has provided new opportunities to develop and launch small (∼1000 cm3 ), low-cost (∼US$ 1M) experiments in space in very short timeframes (∼2 years). We present here the development of an astronomical hard Xray (30-200 keV) experiment, LECX (Localizador de Explosoes C osmicas de Raios ´ X), which is the payload of the nanoMIRAX satellite. The mission is designed to detect and localize within a few degrees events like Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB) and other cosmic explosive phenomena. The experiment uses 4 planar CdZnTe detectors (10×10×2 cm3 ) and a passive shielding system (Pb-Sn-Cu) which determines a 53◦ ×53◦ (FWHM) field-of-view (FoV). The instrumental and aperture background spectra expected during operation in orbit, due the diffuse gamma-ray and particle fields, were calculated using the GEANT4 software package. The experiment sensitivity allows for detection of most known GBRs and the expected detection rate is of up to ∼10 events per year in the experiments FoV. An algorithm was developed to determine the incoming direction of the X rays during a cosmic burst that occurs in the FoV; the calculations are based on the registered detector counts and the attitude of the satellite. The satellite platform is a 2U CubeSat standardized bus with the LECX experiment, developed by INPEs astrophyscis Division, taking 1 U and the satellite service module, built by CRON Sistemas e Tecnologias, taking the other U. This is the first CubeSat platform developed by the Brazilian private sector. We are currently building the flight model and hope to launch nanoMIRAX in 2023. In the current multimessenger era of astronomy, a constellation or swarm of small spacecraft such as nanoMIRAX can be a very costeffective way to search for electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave events produced by the coalescence of compact objects. | |||
