Williams,Chen-wan L Yen,Max R Peterson +25 more
TL;DR: The MESSENGER mission overcomes challenges while avoiding esoteric technologies by using an innovative approach with commonly available materials, minimal moving parts, and maximum heritage, which yields a spacecraft with good margins in all categories and low technical risk.
Journal Article
Harsh environments : space radiation environment, effects, and mitigation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the effects and how their impact may be mitigated in silicon-based microcircuits, and present a method to mitigate the effects of single-event effects.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Radiation Belt Storm Probe spacecraft and impact of environment on spacecraft design
Karen Kirby,Stewart Bushman,Michael H. Butler,Rich Conde,Kris Fretz,Carl Herrmann,Adrian Hill,Richard H. Maurer,Richard Nichols,Geffrey Ottman,W. Mark Reid,Gabe Rogers,Dipak Srinivasan,John Troll,Bruce D. Williams +14 more
TL;DR: The Radiation Belt Storm Probe (RBSP) is an Earth-orbiting mission scheduled to launch in September 2012 and is the next science mission in NASA's Living with a Star Program.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-Energy Neutron Spectroscopy with Thick Silicon Detectors
TL;DR: A new method for high-energy neutron spectroscopy using small silicon detectors that can extend the energy range of neutron spectrum measurements in orbit to more than 500 MeV is presented.
Journal Article
Miniaturization of Space Electronics with Chip-on-Board Technology
Binh Q. Le,Elbert Nhan,Richard H. Maurer,R. E. Jenkins,Ark L. Lew,Howard S. Feldmesser,Juan R. Lander +6 more
TL;DR: This article presents an overview of the chip-on-board technology: the approach, methodology, and test results and its significance and potential effect on the future direction of space programs.
