RADIATION DAMAGE TO SATELLITE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4768580
The radiation sensitivity of satellite electronic systems was examined in order to determine the limitations they place on satellite life. The effects of radiation on components are briefly reviewed. Methods are presented and illustrated for determining the minimum radiation level at which circuit failure could occur. The effects of shielding on the radiation belt levels are discussed. It is shown that the effects of space radiation on satellite circuits, in general, can be made negligible by using good design practices. (M.C.G.)
