About this technology
Overview
This software is an improved model of the ionizing radiaiton environment in space and its effects on satellites and is a computational tool used by aerospace engineers. This software is used to estimate single event effects (SEE) rates: 1) as a guide to parts selection for spacecraft, 2) to demonstrate compliance of a proposed spacecraft design with engineering requirements on reliability and operability, and 3) as a guide in determining the cause of observed spacecraft anomalies.
