Radiation Hardness Assurance Issues Associated with COTS in JPL Flight Systems: The Challenge of Europa
With the decreasing availability of radiation hardened electronics and the new NASA paradigm of faster, more aggressive and less expensive space missions, there has been an increasing emphasis on using high performance commercial microelectronic parts and circuits in NASA spacecraft. The use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) parts and circuits in space systems poses many potential problems, es...
متن کاملEmerging Radiation Hardness Assurance ( RHA ) issues : A NASA approach for space flight programs
Spacecraft performance requirements drive the utilization of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components and emerging technologies in systems. The response of these technologies to radiation is often complex. This engenders a set of emerging radiation hardness assurance (RHA) issues which include displacement damage in optocouplers, high-precision and hybrid devices, enhanced low dose rate (ELDR...
