Abstract
AIRBUS Defense and Space Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) provide requirements to follow during any space program in order to prove that the system will continue to perform its function throughout program mission duration.
RHA requirements apply to all space systems contractors and equipment providers.
The aim of this presentation is to describe each of the Major tasks involved in the Radiation Spacecraft design.
In a first part methods to calculate the internal ionising and non ionising radiation environment and the resulting effects will be discussed.
Then EEE part test requirement from Airbus point of view will be described. Considering the test results radiation tolerance determination can be performed. The methodology to be used for this analysis will be described.
Finally the system level verification requirements that will allow equipment to be folded into higher-level reliability calculations will be provided.
