The objective of this activity will be to evaluate the feasibility of an optical monitoring system of laser sheets for relevant environments (LEO, GEO, interplanetary particle population) and host constraints (e.g. CubeSat, piggyback payload). In particular a system with multiple laser sheet seems desirable as it allows for the reconstruction of particle velocity vector and the reduction of systematic uncertainties by coincidence measurements.
