Abstract
In June 1998 the telescope NINA will be launched in space on board of the R ussian satellite Resource-Ol n.4. The main scientific objective of the miss ion is the study of the anomalous, galactic and solar components of the cos mic rays in the energy interval 10-200 MeV/n. The core of the instrument is a silicon detector whose performances have been tested with a particle bea m at the GSI Laboratory in Germany in 1997; we report here on the results o btained during the beam calibration.
