STUDY OF THE RESPONSE TO THE SPACE ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS OF GRAPHENE
Abstract
Many of the processing devices, especially for astronomy, are based on graphene-based transistors. Therefore, it is key to understand and model its behavior under space conditions. We envisage the first in-space demonstration of graphene-based transistors. The long–term vision is to merge the field of 2D nanomaterials with the field of space science and, in a combined effort, develop a robust 2D material sensor technology that can form the basis for space applications. The innovative aspects of the proposed work lie not only on understanding and modeling the physics behind the graphene features but also on combining this knowledge with data gathered in aerial/space platforms such as high altitude/pressure balloons and Cubesats. We expect to use the measurements of graphene behavior in space to optimize graphene-based device performance to the space environment.
