As the NewSpace industry grows, there is a rising trend toward using non-space-grade power solutions to accommodate reduced launch costs and timelines.

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
