Verification of single-event-upset rate-estimation methods with on-orbit observations. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7089474

In an experiment aboard three Leasat vehicles at geosynchronous orbit, single-event upsets (SEU) were continuously monitored in a memory consisting of 93L422 RAMs. Using simultaneous measurements of the high-energy galactic cosmic-ray and solar-flare particle environment from the experiments aboard the IMP-8 satellite, together with at Least mass distribution model and ground test measurements of the SEU susceptibility for the 93L422, accurate estimates of the SEU rate are calculated based on several improvements to the standard methods. These results are discussed and compared to the Leasat flight observations.
