Abstract

The ISS-CREAM instrument is the modified version of the Cosmic Ray Energetics And Mass (CREAM) experiment, which was flown on balloons multiple times over Antarctica and later installed on the International Space Station (ISS). Its primary objective is to measure the energy spectra of individual cosmic-ray elements for the charge range of Z = 1 to Z = 26, in the energy range of ∼ 10¹² to ∼ 10¹⁵ eV. The instrument comprises a tungsten/scintillator calorimeter and a pixelated silicon charge detector as primary detectors to determine the energy and charge of cosmic rays. Additionally, it includes top and bottom scintillator counting detectors and a boronated scintillator detector to differentiate between electrons and hadrons for multi-TeV electron measurements. The ISS-CREAM instrument was installed on the ISS in August 2017 and operated until February 2019. This paper provides an overview of the instrument, focusing on its detectors, trigger systems, common electronics, and power systems. The paper highlights the modifications made to these components to optimize their performance for ISS operations.
