Radiation Effects on Selected Electronics Parts From the Solar Max SatelliteThe Solar Maximum Satellite was launched on February 14, 1980. Problems with the Main Electronics Box (MEB) were experienced in the period July 10 to September 30, 1980. Failure occurred in the October to November time frame. Replacement of the Main Electronic Box (MEB) was performed in April 1984. The failed original MEB was returned to Earth and offered an opportunity to study some electronic parts which had spent 50 months in the natural radiation environment of a low Earth orbit (LEO) spacecraft. Spare parts were annealed at ambient temperatures on the ground. Dose rate effects between the flight and laboratory environments were compared.
