“…The microelectronics and photonics test bed (MPTB) carried a number of technology demonstration experiments. Among these was a series of SRAMs (static random access memory) and DRAMs (dynamic random access memory) provided by Naval Research Lab [Campbell et al, 2002]. These memory devices were reset and polled at high frequency to detect single-event upsets (SEUs; bit flips).…”

Indications of the space environment hazard at any point in space and time along geosynchronous orbit (GEO) can be obtained using the set of rules described in this paper. These rules are implemented using real‐time Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite particle sensor data and the magnetic index Kp. These rules should be useful for both real‐time and posthoc analysis of GEO spacecraft anomalies. The hazards covered are surface charging, internal charging, single‐event effects due to solar particle events, and total dose (solar arrays). The system provides a “hazard quotient,” the ratio of the instantaneous to mission‐averaged likelihood of an anomaly due to each hazard, based on environmental measurements. With the exception of total dose, the hazard quotients are derived from lists of on‐orbit anomalies or their proxies, and it is assumed that the probability of future anomalies will share the same functional dependence on the environment exhibited by the anomalies in the lists. Hazard quotients are potentially more valuable to satellite operators than are raw measurements, as hazard quotients directly convey the statistical relationship between the radiation environment and the likelihood of an anomaly.

“…The Cosmic Ray Research Satellite (CRRES) [74], circa 1980 (no longer active), and Microelectronics and Photonics Test Bed (MPTB) [75], circa 1998 (still active), are two major spaceflight instruments that contain SEE experiments. These experiments have been vital to the validation of the traditional SEE rate prediction approaches, as well as other radiation effects research.…”

Abstract-Over the past 27 years, or so, increased concern over single-event effects (SEEs) in spacecraft systems has resulted in research, development, and engineering activities centered around a better understanding of the space radiation environment, SEE predictive methods, ground test protocols, and test facility developments. This research has led to fairly well developed methods for assessing the impact of the space radiation environment on systems that contain SEE sensitive devices and the development of mitigation strategies either at the system or device level. However, as new technology has emerged, these ground test and predictive methods have certain short falls.

“…(123,124) Energetic electrons trapped in the outer radiation belt cause electrostatic charging and discharging, which can damage sensitive electronic equipment and solar panels. (125)(126)(127)(128)(129) SEPs can cause displacement damage (reducing device performance) and single event effects (SEEs), (130)(131)(132) which are a growing issue as devices are miniaturized. (17) During the 2003 Halloween storms, 47 satellites reported anomalies (out of 450 in orbit, i.e., ß10%), one scientific satellite was lost, and 10 satellites lost operational service for more than one day.…”

The Economic Impact of Space Weather: Where Do We Stand?

Space weather describes the way in which the Sun, and conditions in space more generally, impact human activity and technology both in space and on the ground. It is now well understood that space weather represents a significant threat to infrastructure resilience, and is a source of risk that is wide-ranging in its impact and the pathways by which this impact may occur. Although space weather is growing rapidly as a field, work rigorously assessing the overall economic cost of space weather appears to be in its infancy. Here, we provide an initial literature review to gather and assess the quality of any published assessments of space weather impacts and socioeconomic studies. Generally speaking, there is a good volume of scientific peer-reviewed literature detailing the likelihood and statistics of different types of space weather phenomena. These phenomena all typically exhibit "power-law" behavior in their severity. The literature on documented impacts is not as extensive, with many case studies, but few statistical studies. The literature on the economic impacts of space weather is rather sparse and not as well developed when compared to the other sections, most probably due to the somewhat limited data that are available from end-users. The major risk is attached to power distribution systems and there is disagreement as to the severity of the technological footprint. This strongly controls the economic impact. Consequently, urgent work is required to better quantify the risk of future space weather events.
