Space Environment Testing
The space radiation environment is a complex and varying
phenomenon, dependent upon many factors, including orbit, time of
year and solar activity. 
The ability of electronic components and materials to
survive the hostile radiation environment in space is of critical
importance for satellite missions. The accurate assessment of
degradation due to radiation effects prior to deployment is
essential. A thorough understanding of the mission
requirements and the likely effects of radiation on satellite
components help ensure maximum operational reliability.
Isotron can provide a range of testing services to assess the
resistance of components, materials and systems to electron and
proton irradiation in the critical energy range of 1 to 10 MeV.
Samples are exposed to uniform and highly controlled radiation
doses in various environmental conditions (temperature, atmosphere,
pressure, illumination, vacuum). The simultaneous measurement of
electrical parameters is also possible.
