What is SET comprised of?• SET is comprised of three prime elements
– The mining of existing solar-variant flight data for engineering purposes such as tool development
• Results of the first award of NASA Research Announcement (NRA) winners may be found at http://see.msfc.nasa.gov
– The development of engineering infrastructure to support flight experiments
• This is called a carrier or carrier-plus– Provides electrical, power, etc interfaces to experiments
as well as a central interface to the host spacecraft• Correlative environment monitors (CEMs) allow in-situ
measurements versus technology performance– Flight experiments designed to investigate and/or validate solar-
variant environment interaction with technology• Microelectronics, photonics, sensors/detectors, materials, etc
– Models, test protocols, prediction techniques, mitigative methods
• Provided via NRA or by partners– Experiments are not required to use the carrier if they already
have flight accommodations

Looking For a FewGood SET Partners!
• SET is a partnered program– We seek partnering at all levels (free is good!)
• Launch Opportunities• Spacecraft• Systems• Engineering Support• Experiments
– May still have to propose via NRA– Fuller partners may not have to propose
» Ex., provide a launch opportunity for free• We are restricted on exchange of funds with international
partners, but still highly seek their contribution and participation
• Advocacy is also highly sought (I.e., SET is a GREAT idea!)
10
Presented by Ken LaBel, NASA/GSFC at the SEE Symposium in Manhattan Beach, CA on Apr 23, 2002
SET Schedule and Plans• Periodic NRAs for data mining/tools• Flight opportunities on roughly a 2-year interval starting in
2004 with SETPath– NRA for first set of SET experiments is due out by early summer– Funds experiment development, but not ground test, test method
development, etc.• Experiments will have to have partnering for this portion
• Carrier development for first full SET mission has begun– The Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory (APL)
and NASA/GSFC are providing core development• Carrier-plus definition has begun
– Partnered effort with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)
– Currently defining requirements and architectural needs unique to sensor/detector technologies
• NASA, DTRA, Aerospace Corp, and APL are the planned prime participants

Description
Notes
COTS1 - Linear Enhanced Low Dose Rate Sensitivity (ELDRS) and Single Event Transients (LSETS)
?? Collect data in space to validate ELDRS and LSET performance models and test protocols for linear bipolar devices
?? This is a two-card experiment that explores critical radiation-induced issues with basic building block devices used in virtually every NASA and ESA design.
?? In-flight anomalies on missions such as GOES, TDRS, M AP, Cassini, Galileo, and SOHO have been attributed to these radiation-induced events.
?? ELDRS is a complex issue that can not be adequately simulated or modeled via ground irradiation only. MPTB flight experiment demonstrated the existence of this effect, but did not have sufficient correlative environment monitoring to fully interpret the data set.
COTS2 - Digital COTS with FPGA Add-On
?? Collect data in space to validate single event effect (SEE) & total ionizing dose (TID) performance models for:
?? – Commercial fuzzy logic processors;
?? – Static random access memories (SRAM); – Field programmable gate array (FPGA) logic devicesThis is a two-card experiment developed jointly by NASA, CNES, ONERA, and TIMA that explores technology models and environment-tolerant approaches relevant to systems from NASA, ESA, and CNES.
?? Radiation issues associated with these technologies have been noted in-flight. These missions include SOHO, SAMPEX, XTE, HST, TDRS, Cassini, and others. Science data was compromised during solar events in many instances.
COTS3 - Optocouplers
?? Collect data in space to validate single event effect (SEE), total integrated dose (TID), and device displacement damage (DDD) performance models & test protocols for optocouplers
?? - Model is also applicable to high-speed fiber optic links
?? This is a one-card experiment developed by NASA on a common building block for electrical systems throughout NASA and ESA.
?? In-flight anomalies have been observed on HST, TERRA, TOPEX/Poseidon, and IRIDIUM.
?? Displacement damage portion of the experiment, for example, will help validate non-ionizing energy loss models for III-V materials used in spacecraft instruments and in solar cells.

ELDRS in Space:Microelectronics and Photonics TestBed
(MPTB)
This is flight data from the Microelectronics and Photonics TestBed (MPTB) for a linear device. This data illustrates the effect of true space dose rates have when compared with traditional ground test data. The filled in circles represent the actual flight data for a device parameter (IIB) versus cumulative dose received. These data points overlay fairly nicely on the open circles which are a very lose dose rate ground test performed on this device type. The traditional higher dose rate ground tests (the open triangle and the square) show less damage at a given TID than the flight or low dose rate data. Thus, the traditional ground test methods would provide misleading results potentially leading to premature mission failure. Data is courtesy of NASA COTS-1 experiment co-investigators at NAVSEA Crane.

NASA (NEPP) and Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) are developing guidelines for ground-based test protocols and predictive techniques (FY02/03). Flight data is used to validate these guidelines. Guidelines will be modified based on flight results.
Guideline documents will be available via NEPP (and LWS) websites (<1 year post-launch). Military/industry guidelines are being planned via established test societies (JEDEC, ASTM, SPWG) – 1.5 years post-launch for community agreement. Further dissemination via technical papers at engineering conferences. Guidelines will be referenced in GIDEP (government industry data exchange program) lessons learned document (Agency Action notice) to ensure flight project notification (<1 year post-launch). Concurrent with GIDEP, the data is fed into NASA approved parts list (former Mil-Std-975). Modules for inclusion in industry-standard radiation codes would be expected ~ 2 years post-launch. Data would be available to ESA and international partners for inclusion in ESA guidelines.

Linear Enhanced Low Dose Rate Sensitivity (ELDRS)
NASA (NEPP) and DoD are developing test methods to evaluate this issue on the ground. Test methods have and are being generated with no flight data. Flight data will be used to determine the accuracy of ground-based accelerated test methods. Products are guidelines for NASA flight projects for testing as well as industry/military standards.
Guideline documents will be available via NEPP and LWS websites (<1.5 year post-launch). Military/industry guidelines via established test societies (JEDEC, ASTM, SPWG) will be validated or modified – 0.5 to 2 years post-launch for community agreement. Further dissemination via technical papers at engineering conferences. Guidelines will be referenced in GIDEP (government industry data exchange program) lessons learned document (Agency Action notice) to ensure flight project notification (<1 year post-launch). Concurrent with GIDEP, the data is fed into NASA approved parts list (former Mil-Std-975). Data would be available to ESA and international partners for inclusion in ESA guidelines.

The ELDRS issue may impact severely the expected lifetime of fielded systems (premature mission failure). By having a validated test protocol on the ground, lifetime reliability will increase significantly (i.e., greatly reduced chance of premature mission failure). These types of device are used in every known spacecraft.

Digital COTS with FPGA Add-On
The international collaboration for this experiment (NASA, CNES, et al) provides a wide-base for product development. Reports will be developed comparing and contrasting the fault tolerance techniques, as well as the various differing radiation-induced performances by commercial and hardened options. The data will feed into the development of lessons learned for development of modern digital electronic systems as well as novel fault-tolerant techniques.
Guideline documents will be developed by NASA and partners for reliable technology insertion into flight projects (<1.5 years post-launch). Investigators at NASA and CNES routinely teach classes at their respective organizations on design techniques. This data will be included to ensure improved flight project performance and reliability. All guidelines and documents will be available on NEPP and LWS websites.

Optocouplers NASA (NEPP) and DTRA have partnered to develop models for radiation effects on optocouplers as well as test methods and predictive techniques. This is a new method not traditionally used with “standard” integrated circuits. A first method for bounding the issue based on no flight data (order of magnitude) will be released in FY02. This precision may limit science instrument and spacecraft subsystem operation capabilities and lifetimes. Flight data will validate or provide critical input to reduce design margins in this method.
Guideline documents will be available via NEPP (and LWS) websites (<1 year post-launch). Further dissemination via technical papers at engineering conferences. Guidelines will be referenced in GIDEP (government industry data exchange program) lessons learned document (Agency Action notice) to ensure flight project notification (<1 year post-launch).
