Current status of the CALET mission
Abstract
The CALorimeteric Electron Telescope (CALET) is a Japanese-led international mission being developed as part of the utilization plan for the International Space Station (ISS). CALET was launched by an H-II B rocket utilizing the Japanese developed HTV (H-II Transfer Vehicle) in August 2015, and has been measuring high-energy electrons, cosmic rays as well as gamma rays above 10 GeV to about 10 TeV with high accuracy. In this paper we describe the current status of the CALET mission focused on gamma-ray observations.
