Abstract
En 中文
This work presents the irradiation testing for the qualification of LabOSat-02, an on-board computer designed for nanosatellites. Its resilience to ionizing radiation in low Earth orbit environments is assessed. This is the first stage of a qualification process in which vibration and thermal vacuum chamber tests are included. The system, based on a Cortex-R4F microcontroller and ferroelectric RAM, was exposed to a 14 MeV proton beam at the Ensayos de Daño por Radiación y Ambiente beamline at CNEA's TANDAR accelerator, reaching a total fluence of 8.1·1010 p/cm2. Real-time telemetry, including the corrected RAM errors, temperature readings, and current consumption, was continuously acquired during irradiation. Results showed no latch-up events, stable power consumption, and no double-bit errors in internal static random-access memory (SRAM). No functional degradation was observed in the external memories or peripheral interfaces. The total absorbed dose by the microcontroller die was estimated to be 570 Gy (Si).
