The authors report on observations of single event upsets occurring in large dynamic NMOS and static CMOs memories on-board the low altitude, polar orbiting UOSAT-2 satellite. The strong localization of these upsets to the South Atlantic region leads to the conclusion that the majority of upsets in these devices are caused by nuclear reactions involving energetic radiation-belt protons encouraged in the South Atlantic Anomaly.
