Space Radiation Effects on Optical Transceiver System of Satellite at Near Equatorial Low Earth Orbit

Abstract

Satellite communications are now embarking on a new paradigm as they integrate space, aerial, and terrestrial networks to create a three-dimensional framework for 5G connectivity. However, spacecraft, space stations, satellites, and astronauts are exposed to an increased level of radiation when in space. Therefore, it is important to evaluate risks and performance effects associated with extended radiation exposures in missions and space travel. This research proposal focuses on Low Earth Orbit (LEO), especially at the near-equatorial radiation environment and how the radiation particles in it interact with materials in general and with inter-satellite optical wireless communication systems in particular.
