Towards defining a simplified procedure for COTS system-on-chip TID testing
Total Ionizing Dose Effects on Commercial ARM Microcontroller for Low Earth Orbit Satellite Subsystems
TLDR
The predicted dose depth curve and the total ionizing does test results for a commercial ARM microcontroller for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are presented to help estimate the effect of space environment on the microcontroller and decide if such microcontroller is an accepted candidate for LEO missions or not.
Survey on the implementation and reliability of CubeSat electrical bus interfaces
TLDR
It is concluded that the Inter Integrated Circuit (I2C) data bus, as implemented in a great majority of the CubeSats, caused some catastrophic satellite failures and a vast amount of bus lockups.
Total-Ionizing-Dose Induced Timing Window Violations in CMOS Microcontrollers
The total-ionizing-dose robustness of low power microcontrollers is investigated. Experiments reveal that with increasing total ionizing dose (TID), the “Timing Window Violations,”i.e., inability of…
AMR Magnetometer With Digital Feedback for Space Applications
TLDR
A novel concept of a digitally compensated, low-noise magnetometer based on anisotropic magnetoresistance sensors that is suitable for space applications is presented, keeping costs manageable even for low-budget CubeSat missions.
Implementation of the configurable fault tolerant system experiment on NPSAT-1
TLDR
This thesis develops and implements a hardware solution to combat single-event effects (SEE) in orbiting satellites for deployment as an experimental module on Naval Postgraduate School Satellite 1 (NPSAT-1).
Characterization of a Digital AMR Magnetometer for Space Applications
TLDR
This article presents a novel concept of a digitally compensated, low-noise magnetometer based on anisotropic magnetoresistance sensors that is suitable for space applications that was designed to reduce the number of precise analog components while using the digital signal processing power available in a modern microcontroller.
Cold testing of conductive bridging random access memory for space applications
This paper investigates the reliability of off the shelf Conductive Bridging Random Access Memory (CBRAM) chips under exposure to cold temperatures. In comparison to electrically erasable…
Total Ionizing Dose Radiation Testing of NVIDIA Jetson Nano GPUs
TLDR
Preliminary results suggest operation beyond20 krad(Si), which is sufficient radiation tolerance for short duration small satellite missions.
Components selection criteria for low cost satellite telemetry subsystem
One of the main challenges that faces satellite subsystem developers is reducing the cost while maintaining high reliability. The main causes of high satellite subsystem cost is space hardened…
