Raymond Ladbury NASA Abstract: Watching a part fail while radiation testing is not an uncommon experience. However, when the previous testing on your part suggests that protons are too feebly ionizing to kill your part and it dies anyway…that will make you sit up and take notice! And when your billion-dollar satellite is already flying […]
