We present the design and preliminary calibration results of a novel highly miniaturised particle radiation monitor (HMRM) for spacecraft use. The HMRM device comprises a telescopic configuration of active pixel sensors enclosed in a titanium shield, with an estimated total mass of 52 g and volume of 15 cm 3 . The monitor is intended to provide real-time dosimetry and identification of energetic charged particles in fluxes of up to 10 8 cm −2 s −1 (omnidirectional). Achieving this capability with such a small instrument could open new prospects for radiation detection in space.
