GIADA is composed of three subsystems: (1) Grain Detection System (GDS); (2) Impact Sensor (IS); and (3) Micro-Balances System (MBS). Monitoring the subsystems' performance during operations is an important element for the correct calibration of scientific measurements. In this paper, we analyse the GIADA inflight calibration data obtained by internal calibration devices for the three subsystems during the period from 1 August 2014 to 31 October 2015. The calibration data testify a nominal behaviour of the instrument during these fifteen months of mission; the only exception is a minor loss of sensitivity for one of the two GDS receivers, attributed to dust contamination.STAMPAenArticle10.1016/j.asr.2017.07.0312-s2.0-85027238259000448224500005https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S02731177173054102018AdSpR..62.1987SING-IND/05 - IMPIANTI E SISTEMI AEROSPAZIALIERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation
