Radiation test methods for nanosatellites
Description
Space environment is harsh, especially because of radiations. These radiations induce cumulative and singular effects that can reduce the overall reliability of a satellite. For low-cost space systems, the use of radiation hardened components is prohibited because of their high cost. Commercial components are preferred but their radiation sensitivity is often unknown. Scientific and commercial space projects require a Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) process in order to reduce the risk and ensure a better reliability by providing a study at component level. We propose in this thesis the study and development of RHA methods dedicated and tailored for nanosatellites. (author)
Abstract (French)
L'environnement spatial est extremement agressif, en particulier en raison de la presence de radiations. Ces radiations produisent divers effets, soit cumulatifs soit singuliers qui mettent en peril la fiabilite des satellites. Sur les satellites a budgets contraints, l'utilisation de composant durcis est a proscrire pour des questions de cout. Les composants utilises sont des composants commerciaux dont la tenue aux radiations n'est generalement pas connue. Sur les satellites scientifiques ou commerciaux, une procedure dite Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) est mise en place et vise a reduire les risque en evaluant la sensibilite aux radiations de tous les composants. Afin de garantir le niveau de fiabilite des nanosatellites, nous proposons dans le cadre de cette these d'aider au developpement d'une RHA specifique. (auteur)
