Nanosatellites for the study of high-energy particles$'$ microbursts$'$ nature in the Earth$'$s magnetosphere: an idea of cosmic experiment
A concept of a cosmic scientific experiment is presented. The main goal of the experiment is the study of miscrobursts of charged particles of high energy in the Earth$'$s magnetosphere. The experiment is designed to use a nanosatellite platform. The paper describes the functional scheme, structural features and technical characteristics of a miniature detector-analyser of electrons and protons, MiRA$\_$ep. Keywords: radiation belt, electron, nanosatellite, silicon detector, organic scintillator, Brazilian Magnetic Anomaly, inclination of satellite orbit.
