Spaceborne particle radiation

Spaceborne particle detectors occupy a nonnegligible place in basic science research programs. With the general increase of activity in space, and the development of a space industry, the interest in particle detection has become multi-disciplinary. The emergence of the notion of space weather is an illustration. The renewed interest of the high energy physics community in cosmic-ray observation offers new perspectives for detectors. The latest methods and instrumentation developed for particle detection at accelerators have been proposed for a new generation of devices. The current trends are indicated by a brief review of existing, past, and proposed detectors.
