Proton radiation testing of laser optical components for NASA Jupiter Europa Orbiter Mission

The Jupiter Europa Orbiter (JEO) is NASA’s element of the joint Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM). Based on current trajectories, the spacecraft will spend a significant amount of time in the Jovian radiation belts. Therefore, research endeavors are underway to study the radiation effects on the various parts and components needed to implement the instruments. Data from these studies will be...

NASA Electronic Parts & Packaging ( NEPP ) Program Assurance Research on Optoelectronics

The wide variety of optoelectronics applications in NASA flight systems and instruments require that optoelectronic technologies meet the demanding requirements of the space environment throughout mission life. These requirements vary widely from intense radiation near Jupiter to the very cold temperatures on the Martian surface to the effects of solar flares in Earth orbit. Considerable work h...
