miniTRASGO Documentation

Last updated: September 2025

Welcome to the official documentation for the miniTRASGO (miniature TRASGO) cosmic ray telescope. miniTRASGO is a compact, cost-effective muon tracker based on Resistive Plate Chambers. It monitors secondary cosmic rays to study solar activity, atmospheric correlations, and space weather. With stations operating in Madrid, Warsaw, and Puebla and another planned for Monterrey, the project is building a scalable network across different latitudes. This site collects everything needed to operate a miniTRASGO unit and analyze its data.
