Release 1.1.2

Instruments and data

• The BPD instrument aboard the BioSentinel CubeSat in heliocentric orbit at 1 AU around the Sun.
• The D1&D2 instrument pair (CRaTER-D1D2) of the CRaTER instrument aboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) in Moon orbit.
• The A&B (Liulin-MO-AB) and C&D (Liulin-MO-CD) detector pairs of the Liulin-MO instrument aboard ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) in Mars cruise and Mars orbit.
• The MSL/RAD instrument (MSL-RAD-Surface dataset) aboard Curiosity on Mars surface.

API and GUI functionality

Performance improvements, step-plot visualizations, fixes to extraneous gaps on line plots.

Release 1.1.1

Minor functionality and cosmetic fixes.

---

Release 1.1.0

Instruments and data

• The ALTEA-Survey configuration of the ALTEA instrument.
  The dataset currently available in RadLab provides absorbed dose rate, dose equivalent rate, and flux measurements at a median cadence (time resolution) of 60 seconds.
• The LND instrument aboard the Chang'e 4 lunar lander.
  The dataset currently available in RadLab provides absorbed dose rate measurements at a median cadence (time resolution) of 1 hour.
• A number of additional preliminary datasets curated by NASA and LBNL collaborators for RAD, REM, and TEPC-type instruments with a median cadence of 24 hours.

Metadata and search capabilities of the user interface

This release introduces unique instrument IDs. Note that these IDs are backwards-compatible with legacy instrument names previously used in RadLab: e.g. API queries such as instrument=REM still include data for the instrument they previously targeted (which is now logged under the ID REM-Lid); a query for instrument=Liulin-5-1D will resolve the legacy name (ending in "1D") to the ID Liulin-5-D1 (ending in "D1"). However, users are encouraged to transition to using the current IDs directly.

Metadata fields (searchable through the Web user interface as well as via the API) have also been introduced in this release:
Celestial body
Trajectory
Spacecraft
Module
Instrument family

The new Web interface also makes use of these metadata fields and displays the instruments in a hierarchical view throughout the website, and specifically in conjunction with the interactive diagram of the ISS.

Data API

The data API in this release introduces the capabilities to query the data using the metadata fields described above; additionally, an alternative boolean expression API syntax has been introduced.

Knowledgebase

Starting from this release, RadLab includes a knowledgebase. The information in the knowledgebase is being continuously updated; example pages with detailed information include ALTEA and Interactive plots with Plotly.js.

Each instrument ID corresponds to a knowledgebase entry (e.g. Liulin-5-D1), aimed to describe the specifics of a given instrument or configuration.

Notes

The Web interface uses the following external assets:

• The diagram of the ISS, adapted from https://www.nasa.gov/international-space-station/space-station-facts-and-figures/ (direct link to image: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/iss-blowout-updated-view-2023-300.png).

Release 1.0.0

Instruments and data

• Instruments included in the DORELI project: DosTel1, DosTel2, Lidal, REM-Lid.
  The datasets currently available in RadLab provide absorbed dose rate and flux measurements at a median cadence (time resolution) of 5 minutes.
• The three detectors of the Liulin-5 instrument: Liulin-5-D1, Liulin-5-D2, Liulin-5-D3.
  Datasets available in RadLab provide absorbed dose rate and flux measurements at a median cadence (time resolution) of 20 seconds in the vicinity of the South Atlantic Anomaly and 90 seconds elsewhere.
• A number of RAD, REM, and TEPC-type instruments.
  Data available in RadLab has been curated by NASA and LBNL collaborators and is considered preliminary, providing absorbed dose rate measurements at a median cadence (time resolution) of 24 hours.
  The time spans available correspond to entries in the Environmental Data Application.

API and GUI functionality

Introduction of base functionality: database queriable by key-value pairs (e.g. instrument=REM) via the API; time series, data comparison, and geospatial visualizations.
