The Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) is being developed as a small, low-power device to monitor space 'weather' and provide autonomous warnings of conditions that may cause operational anomalies in a host spacecraft. CEASE uses a two-element solid-state telescope, two radiation dosimeters and one SEU detector to sample critical energetic particle fluxes. It uses a sophisticated real-time processing program that can forecast hazardous environmental conditions before they affect the spacecraft The spacecraft, in turn, can re-prioritize its operations, inhibit any anomaly sensitive operations such as attitude adjustments, or take any other prudent action suggested by the potential of erratic conditions.
