Radiation Monitors for Space weather (RMS) is a suite of sensors for measuring energetic electrons (50 keV – 5 MeV) and protons (10 MeV – 1 GeV) in geostationary orbit, which is designed to monitor the radiation belt electrons, and solar and galactic protons. RMS is being developed as a new observation payload for next Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite, Himawari-10. National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) plans to provide realtime data obtained by RMS to public and warnings/forecasts of potentially hazardous space weather, which expect to mitigate its risks to the respective users. In this talk we introduce RMS and its status of development.
