Radiation characteristics and SEU rates in NEqO environment using SPENVIS
RazakSat1 was launched at Near Equatorial Orbit (NEqO) where Trapped Protons/Electrons (TP/TE) and Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) has intensive effect on satellite's memory like SRAM based FPGA. Due to this devastating effect, it is important to investigate the radiation environment of the orbit to...

RazakSat1 was launched at Near Equatorial Orbit (NEqO) where Trapped Protons/Electrons (TP/TE) and Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) has intensive effect on satellite's memory like SRAM based FPGA. Due to this devastating effect, it is important to investigate the radiation environment of the orbit to predict the SEU rate for 6T SRAM, which is the building block of SRAM based FPGA. This study investigates the radiation environment in NEqO specifically for the orbit of RazakSat satellite. Solar Event Particles (SEPs), Trapped Protons/Electrons (TP/TE) and Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCR) are the three main sources of radiation which are taken to consideration in this study. The fluxes spectra of these three types are simulated and SEU rates for 180nm 6T SRAM are predicted using SPENVIS models for NEqO orbit.
