摘要
The TUS (Tracking Ultra-violet Set up) space fluorescence detector has to be launched in 2010 as a separated platform in Foton (Bion) mission prepared by the Samara enterprise. This detector was designed for another satellite and the updated variant of the TUS detector for a new platform is presented. The data on UV glow of the atmosphere obtained in operation of one pixel of the TUS detector on board the Moscow State University "Universitetsky-Tatiana" satellite was taken into account in design of the updated TUS detector. The data on UV transient flashes registered in "Universitetsky-Tatiana" mission are of special interest. Electronics of the TUS detector able to select and register different types of UV events in the atmosphere is presented. (c) 2007 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
