The pixelated CdZnTe detectors have an energy range of 40 keV\nto 3 MeV per pixel. It was launched on 2025 April 21 aboard the Department of Defense Space\nTest Program STP-H10 to the ISS. On the ISS, it is located on the SOX external payload facility\non the Columbus module. Analysis of TERI data at NRL is supported by the Office of Naval\nResearch 6.1.\n\n[1] Shy, Daniel, et al. \"Development of the cadmium zinc TElluride Radiation Imager.\" Journal\nof Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems 10.4 (2024): 044009-044009\n(arXiv:2408.04559).\n\nDistribution Statement A: Approved for public release.
