Objectives
To utilise, improve and maintain the capabilities of the PSI High Energy Proton irradiation test facility for the purpose of characterising Single Event Effects (SEE) and Displacement Damage (DD) effects in EEE components for flight on ESA missions and missions developed by European industry.
Description
This activity concerns execution of regular irradiation test campaigns on EEE components for flight on ESA and European space missions. Up to 240 hours per year of beam time is available free of charge on a priority basis for ESA. Additionally, a minimum of 500 hours per year is available for ESA sub-contractors, research institutes and other interested users at preferential hourly rates. The agency provides the facility with a detailed work programme of the test campaigns. Subsequently, the facility performs test campaign scheduling (in agreement with the Agency).
