Abstract

One of the important issues to be considered in the design of space systems is the attention to the difference between the terrestrial and space environment. This issue changes the design and affects all subsystems of space systems. Radiation damage due to space radiation can cause disturbances in the functioning of space systems. In this paper, with a computational approach examines the most important radiation damage involving TID, DD and SEU in two satellites that have missions in LEO orbit. The calculations were performed using the OMERE software and finally, a comparison was made between different models for achieving different types of radiation damage.
