Verification of Single Event Upset Rate Estimation Methods with On-Orbit Observations
Abstract
In an experiment aboard three Leasat vehicles at geosynchronous orbit, single event upsets (SEU) have been continuously monitored in a memory consisting of 93L422 RAMs. Using simultaneous measurements of the high energy galactic cosmic ray and solar flare particle environment from the experiments aboard the IMP-8 satellite, together with at Least mass distribution model and ground test measurements of the SEU susceptibility for the 93L422, accurate estimates of the SEU rat are calculated based on several improvements to the standard methods. These results are discussed and compared to the Leasat flight observations. Keywords: Susceptibility; Single Event Upset; Leasat Satellites; Random Access Memory.
