However, this shift away from traditional, radiation-hardened technology introduces new risks.
Without proper qualification, lower-cost alternatives can fail prematurely, jeopardizing time, resources, and mission success.
VPT and Solsta are hosting a 60 minute webinar on May 21 which will explore how experts in the field of power solutions for high- reliability space applications are facing this dilemma — strategically balancing cost and reliability to ensure low Earth orbit (LEO) mission success.
The session will focus on a real-world example and dive into the advanced technology behind specialized DC-DC converters, showing how they deliver both affordability and performance.
Highlights include:
- How high-reliability, advanced technology is integrated into LEO power solutions to prevent mission failures and optimize performance
- The rationale behind selecting specific radiation tolerance levels (SEE and TID) for LEO missions
- How radiation lot acceptance testing and a dedicated Radiation Hardness Assurance plan ensure long-term reliability
- How the speaker’s company leverages its in-house radiation test facility to provide radiation tolerance suitable for NewSpace applications in a cost-effective manner
