  The Particle Telescope (PATE) of FORESAIL-1 mission is described. FORESAIL-1
is a CubeSat mission to polar Low Earth Orbit. Its scientific objectives are to
characterize electron precipitation from the radiation belts and to observe
energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) originating from the Sun during the strongest
solar flares. For that purpose, the 3-unit CubeSat carries a particle telescope
that measures energetic electrons in the nominal energy range of 80--800 keV in
seven energy channels and energetic protons at 0.3--10 MeV in ten channels. In
addition, particles penetrating the whole telescope at higher energies will be
measured in three channels: one $>$800 keV electron channel, two integral
proton channels at $>$10 MeV energies. The instrument contains two telescopes
at right angles to each other, one measuring along the spin axis of the
spacecraft and one perpendicular to it. During a spin period (nominally 15 s),
the rotating telescope will, thus, deliver angular distributions of protons and
electrons, at 11.25-degree clock-angle resolution, which enables one to
accurately determine the pitch-angle distribution and separate the trapped and
precipitating particles. During the last part of the mission, the rotation axis
will be accurately pointed toward the Sun, enabling the measurement of the
energetic hydrogen from that direction. Using the geomagnetic field as a filter
and comparing the rates observed by the two telescopes, the instrument can
observe the solar ENA flux for events similar to the only one so far observed
in December 2006. We present the Geant4-simulated energy and angular response
functions of the telescope and assess its sensitivity showing that they are
adequate to address the scientific objectives of the mission.
