Spacecraft Radiation-Hardened Design and TID Mitigation Masterclass
"Spacecraft Radiation-Hardened Design and TID Mitigation Masterclass" dives into protecting electronics from radiation damage in harsh orbital environments. Topics include shielding, error correction, and total ionizing dose (TID) modeling. Cybersecurity is addressed through secure boot protocols, hardened firmware, and failover architectures that ensure radiation-induced faults can't be exploited to trigger malicious states or denial-of-service failures in critical subsystems.
