CONSULTATION AND PROBLEM ANALYSIS
-
Analysis of environmental requirements based on orbit and mission lifetime; ECSS-E-ST-10-04C (fields of particles, fluxes)
-
In-flight dose (TID) end effects calculations based on 3D Mote Carlo modeling; ECSS-E-ST-10-12C -> realistic environmental requirements
-
Relevant electronic components selection and shielding optimization -> lower power, lower mass
-
Planning
-
realistic scheduling
-
optimization: faster -> cheaper irradiation
-
PREPARATION AND DESIGN
-
Test plans and detailed test procedures; ESCC 22900, ESCC 25100, MIL-STD-883 m:1019, 1020.1 1021.3
-
Planning with optimization: faster -> cheaper irradiation
-
Beam requirements: doses/fluences, fluxes, beam shapes, energies
-
Preparation of DUTs for irradiation
-
Electronic equipment selection and design,
-
Supporting electronic equipment selection and design
