Learning Outcomes

Space radiation has major effects on spacecraft and humans in space. The module introduces students to the sources, the characteristics, and the effects of space radiation. This knowledge is vital for space systems engineers who coordinate radiation test campaigns and plan technical measures for mitigating radiation effects. After successful completion of this module, students will be able to - classify the dose of space radiation in comparison to the radiation dose in daily life, - recognize the technical terms and units that are relevant to working with radiation, - explain the different sources and characteristics of space radiation, - summarize the space radiation environment in common mission orbits, - describe the general effects of space radiation on electronics, - describe the effects of different space radiation types on the physical layer of electronics, - select the relevant standards and processes for radiation testing, - describe how to build radiation models and run a simulation of radiation effects using software tools, - prepare a radiation test setup, - interpret radiation test data, - explain the basic principles of mitigating radiation effects.

Content

The following topics are addressed in this module: - Radiation concept and units - The space radiation environment - Effects of space radiation on electronics - Detailed TID effects in electronics - Single Event Effects (SEE) in electronics - Introduction to computational tools and calculation of radiation models - Simulation of radiation effects on electronics - Preparation of a total ionizing dose (TID) irradiation test setup with electronic components - Hands-on radiation test campaign in a radiation chamber - Basics of radiation effects mitigation

Workload and Credit Points

Radiation Workshop (IV):

Workload description	Multiplier	Hours	Total
Attendance	15.0	4.0h	60.0h
Exam preparation	1.0	15.0h	15.0h
Self-study of lecture materials	15.0	1.0h	15.0h
			90.0h(~3 LP)

The Workload of the module sums up to 90.0 Hours. Therefore the module contains 3 Credits.

Description of Teaching and Learning Methods

The module starts with lectures that introduce the theory behind space radiation. It continues with a hands-on project in which the students conduct a radiation test campaign. The students prepare a small electrical circuit that is tested in a radiation chamber. The class is taken to a radiation chamber to learn about the facility, set up the test, and make measurements. The radiation test campaign results are interpreted and discussed in class.
