Experience, lessons learned and methodology in the design of space systems to accommodate total dose and SEU effectsWe now have considerable experience with successfully designing science systems to function properly, even during and after exposure to ionizing radiation approaching one Megarad, and during large solar particle events with substantial high Z fluxes such as the events that happened in August, 1972 and in the fall of 1989. Nevertheless, with changing device dimensions and properties, newer technologies and new applications, new problems arise. Some recent basic research has shed light on these problems and pointed the way to better diagnostic tests. In the case of single event upsets, clearly one cannot always accurately predict upset probabilities simply by knowing the quiescent Linear Energy Transfer (LET) threshold and the asymptotic cross-section of the device.
