01

Radiation testing services

We help aerospace clients ensure reliable and high-performance space electronics and materials with our radiation testing and hardness assurance solutions.

What is RHA? Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) is the process of ensuring that electronics and materials used in space systems can withstand the high radiation levels in space.
What do we offer? We provide RHA services to various space-related projects. We can model, analyze, test, and optimize the radiation hardness of their customers’ products.
What are the advantages of SE2S? We have extensive experience in radiation testing and access to various irradiation facilities. We have worked with notable clients such as Thales Alenia Space, ESA, Airbus, and AST Spacemobile.

HOW WE WORK

Radiation analysis

We model radiation environment based on mission orbit and lifetime, and analyze radiations doses end evaluate radiation effects using 3D Mote Carlo modeling.

Radiation test planing

Based on the radiation analysis results, or the requirements from customers, we help design test plans, prepare hardware and software, and arrange radiation facilities.

Radiation testing

Based on the test plan or customer requirements, we use radiation facilities, including radiation sources, proton accelerators, and heavy-ion accelerators, for radiation testing.

Analysis and reporting

We help our customers analyze the test data, prepare reports, and optimize the shielding design.

OUR MEANS

SE2S, being a spin-off of the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) and with its support, is granted access to a wide range of facilities at PSI, which include

Clean rooms
Thermal chambers
Thermo-vacuum chambers (down to 50K)
Proton Irradiation Facility: Proton energies from 5 to 230 MeV.
EMON: electrons with energies of 50 keV -2.1 MeV
Co-60 facility
X-ray beamlines (Swiss Light Source – SLS)
Wide range of radiation sources
Mechanical workshops
Electronic labs, IT and Software

We also use other irradiation facilities across Europe to meet our customers’ needs.
