Space radiation can affect the performance and reliability of components in space systems. This paper focuses on the investigation of three types of radiation damage including ionizing dose, displacement damage, and single event damage using OMERE software. Considering the outputs of this software, how to use and use a variety of electronic components with different commercial, military and space grades in LEO and GEO satellites is discussed. These components have the least risk of displacement damage. Mass budget constraints should also be considered when using commercial components in the GEO circuit. The maximum thickness for the safety of components in LEO and GEO circuits is 2.6 mm and 9.5 mm respectively. Given the inability of SEE damage to increase in thickness, the best solution to this damage is to use radiation-resistant solutions, especially software issues.
