Reviewer 1 Report
This paper describes the excellent work of development and tests of a three-directional high-energy particle detector for a Chinese meteorological satellite. Its strength is a detailed description of the detector's system, design and calibrations.
The largest disadvantage is the lack of reference numbers in the text. This has to be prevented. Additionally, the introduction does not provide any scope of the other known detectors, a review of similar payloads in other satellite systems should be added. The novelty of current work has to be highlighted.
References in the reference list starting from reference No7 are not formatted according to formatting guidelines.
Some minor comments:
Figures 6 and 7 should add "left", "right" or a), b) indices.
Figure 16 is numbered by 1), 2), 3; Figure 17 by a), b), c).
In general, the paper is well written with some minor grammar/expression errors, it should be carefully read and corrected.

Round 2
Reviewer 2 Report
I think that the authors did an excellent job and the work is very interesting. The authors reviewed the paper very carefully and addressed all of my concerns. I would recommend this paper for publication in its present form. However, just some suggestions:
- I would suggest to check the figure numbering (in particular after having removed figure 9 the numbers of the successive figures shall be adjusted).
- Also, I was not able to find a definition of the geometric factor in the "Main Technical Index" chapter, probably I missed it but I would suggest to check (the first definition that I found in the revised version appears at line 110).
- Points 79 and 88 of the review report: I think these sentences were useful but I would leave it to the authors to decide whether or not to keep them in the text.
