The planned Galileo global navigation system will employ an array of satellites in medium Earth orbit. Internal charging is one of the primary hazards for any spacecraft in MEO and accordingly the Galileo test spacecraft, Giove-A, carries the dasiaSURFpsila detector to undertake measurements of internal charging currents deposited at three different shielding depths (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mm Al). Giove-A was successfully launched on 28th December 2005 into a 23,300 km circular, 56 degree inclination orbit. In this paper we provide data on the charging currents observed in 2006, with particular emphasis on two large charging events, one in April and one in December. Comparisons are made between the flight data and predictions made using ESA's internal charging tool, DICTAT, which employs the FLUMIC dasiaworst casepsila electron belt model. The DICTAT predictions of charging current are exceeded for a few days in the 1.5 mm Al shielded plate in the course of the December event.
计划中的伽利略全球导航系统将在中地球轨道上使用一系列卫星。内部充电是MEO中任何航天器的主要危害之一,因此伽利略测试航天器give - a携带了dasiaSURFpsila探测器,以测量在三种不同屏蔽深度(0.5,1.0和1.5 mm Al)沉积的内部充电电流。2005年12月28日,“give - a”成功发射,进入一个半径23300公里、倾角56度的圆形轨道。在本文中,我们提供了2006年观测到的充电电流数据,特别强调了两次大型充电事件,一次在4月,一次在12月。将飞行数据与欧空局内部充电工具dicat所做的预测进行了比较,dicat采用了fluic数据库中最糟糕的casepsila电子带模型。在12月的活动中,1.5毫米铝屏蔽板的充电电流超过了dicat预测的几天。

We compared the efficiency of blue light photobleaching and high temperature in fibres irradiated above the MGy level. Results show that few dB can be recovered by both mechanisms. Nevertheless the optical recovery is limited due to the re-activation of defects upon subsequent irradiations.

The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanisms underlying performance degradation in 130 nm and 90 nm commercial CMOS technologies exposed to high doses of ionizing radiation. The investigation has been mainly focused on their noise properties in view of applications to the design of low-noise, low-power analog circuits to be operated in harsh environment. Experimental data support the hypothesis that charge trapping in shallow trench isolation (STI), besides degrading the static characteristics of interdigitated NMOS transistors, also affects their noise performances in a substantial fashion. The model discussed in this paper, presented in a previous work focused on CMOS devices irradiated with a 10 Mrad(SiO2) gamma-ray dose, has been applied here also to transistors exposed to much higher (up to 100 Mrad(SiO2)) doses of X-rays. Such a model is able to account for the extent of the observed noise degradation as a function of the device polarity, dimensions and operating point.

The two detectors of the ISOCAM camera on board the ISO spacecraft have performed nominally for the entire duration of the mission. Their main properties (dark current level, noise and responsivity) have been monitored on a daily basis in order to perform their trend analysis. The dark current level averaged over the whole detectors sometimes significantly increased during one or several days before going back to its nominal value. This occurred only when the spacecraft was approaching the external radiation belt and we observed that the dark current level was strongly correlated with the fluence of ambient electrons. This paper gives the interpretation of the dark current variations, which are attributed to magnetic storms.

The effects of proton irradiation on the performance of key devices and mixed-signal circuits fabricated in a SiGe BiCMOS IC design platform and intended for emerging lunar missions are presented. High-voltage (HV) transistors, SiGe bandgap reference (BGR) circuits, a general-purpose high input impedance operational amplifier (op amp), and a 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) are investigated. The circuits were designed and implemented in a first-generation SiGe BiCMOS technology and were irradiated with 63 MeV protons. The degradation due to proton fluence in each device and circuit was found to be minor, suggesting that SiGe HBT BiCMOS technology could be a robust platform for building electronic components intended for operation under extreme environments.

A novel method to evaluate total dose radiation response on large mixed signal circuits is described. The method is based on partly behavioral, partly structural simulation on the VHDL-AMS language. Results obtained with the developed simulation method are compared to total dose testing results of an embedded high-precision data acquisition system. The system was total dose tested until functional failure in a Cobalt-60 irradiation chamber. Photoemission microscopy (PEM) analysis showed severe TID induced leakage currents inside the 1.2 kbyte SRAM memory sub-system. The SRAM sub-system was TID simulated with the developed method, and the results were compared to the irradiation test results. The simulation results suggest that the drain-to-source leakage currents inside the SRAM sub-system might not be the only cause for the system failure.
