Performance of the ISS-CREAM Calorimeter

POSTER

Abstract

Cosmic rays are energetic particles, primarily atomic nuclei, traveling to Earth from astrophysical sources in the Milky Way Galaxy or even beyond. We are currently exploring the properties of cosmic rays with the ISS-CREAM (Cosmic Ray Energetic And Mass) experiment, deployed on the International Space Station (ISS) in August, 2017. In this presentation, we will report on the status of flight data analysis and operations. We will focus on the behavior of the high voltage systems and corresponding current draw from the calorimeter electronics as markers of overall instrument performance.
