System Level Radiation Characterization of a 1U CubeSat Based on CERN Radiation Monitoring Technology

Abstract

A CubeSat payload (PL) was designed at CERN and at the University Space Center of Montpellier, for the measurement of radiation and its effects on electronics and single event latchup recording on SRAM devices. The PL and the data handling modules were tested at the CERN mixed-field facility, in a Low Earth Orbit representative environment.
