Radiation design handbook for the Jupiter Probe
The purpose of this Handbook is to provide basic guidance in the design of electronics equipment for the Jupiter Probe to ensure that it will survive exposure to the Jovian radiation belts. Section 2 of the Handbook presents a general discussion of component radiation effects and design considerations. Emphasis has been placed on presenting the scope of effects rather than an extensive compilation of available data. Design considerations are suggested but it is expected that, with knowledge of the basic component effects, individual design considerations familiar to designers can be applied directly to realize hardened equipment. The principal contribution of the Handbook is presented in Section 3: Hardness Assurance Guidelines. Step-by-step procedures are outlined to support the evolution of design by establishing a component data base sufficient to support and assure adequate survival. Input parameters are the defined radiation environment, survival probability and failure criteria on each component parameter. Analysis procedures are outlined to proceed based on the determined element of risk, each leading to a component specification for design and fabrication of hardened equipment.
