What is SET comprised of? SET is comprised of three prime elements– The mining of existing solar-variant flight data for engineeringpurposes such as tool development Results of the first award of NASA Research Announcement(NRA) winners may be found at http://see.msfc.nasa.gov– The development of engineering infrastructure to support flightexperiments This is called a carrier or carrier-plus– Provides electrical, power, etc interfaces to experimentsas well as a central interface to the host spacecraft Correlative environment monitors (CEMs) allow in-situmeasurements versus technology performance– Flight experiments designed to investigate and/or validate solarvariant environment interaction with technology Microelectronics, photonics, sensors/detectors, materials, etc– Models, test protocols, prediction techniques, mitigative methods Provided via NRA or by partners– Experiments are not required to use the carrier if they alreadyhave flight accommodationsPresented by Ken LaBel, NASA/GSFC at the SEE Symposium in Manhattan Beach, CA on Apr 23, 20027

SET ProductsLWS/SETResearch to ReduceImpacts of Solar Variabilitye.g., Space WeatherDefine space environment effectsand mechanisms? Detector/sensor degradation andfailure mechanisms?

Methodologies to improvemicroelectronics performancePresented by Ken LaBel, NASA/GSFC at the SEE Symposium in Manhattan Beach, CA on Apr 23, 20028

Looking For a FewGood SET Partners! SET is a partnered program– We seek partnering at all levels (free is good!) Launch Opportunities Spacecraft Systems Engineering Support Experiments– May still have to propose via NRA– Fuller partners may not have to propose» Ex., provide a launch opportunity for free We are restricted on exchange of funds with internationalpartners, but still highly seek their contribution andparticipationAdvocacy is also highly sought (I.e., SET is a GREAT idea!)Presented by Ken LaBel, NASA/GSFC at the SEE Symposium in Manhattan Beach, CA on Apr 23, 20029

SET Schedule and Plans Periodic NRAs for data mining/toolsFlight opportunities on roughly a 2-year interval starting in2004 with SETPath– NRA for first set of SET experiments is due out by early summer– Funds experiment development, but not ground test, test methoddevelopment, etc. Experiments will have to have partnering for this portion Carrier development for first full SET mission has begun– The Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory (APL)and NASA/GSFC are providing core development Carrier-plus definition has begun– Partnered effort with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency(DTRA)– Currently defining requirements and architectural needs uniqueto sensor/detector technologies NASA, DTRA, Aerospace Corp, and APL are the plannedprime participantsPresented by Ken LaBel, NASA/GSFC at the SEE Symposium in Manhattan Beach, CA on Apr 23, 200210

ELDRS in Space:Microelectronics and Photonics TestBed(MPTB)This is flight data from the Microelectronics and Photonics TestBed (MPTB) for a linear device. This data illustrates the effect of true space dose rateshave when compared with traditional ground test data. The filled in circles represent the actual flight data for a device parameter (IIB) versus cumulativedose received. These data points overlay fairly nicely on the open circles which are a very lose dose rate ground test performed on this device type. Thetraditional higher dose rate ground tests (the open triangle and the square) show less damage at a given TID than the flight or low dose rate data. Thus,the traditional ground test methods would provide misleading results potentially leading to premature mission failure. Data is courtesy of NASA COTS-1experiment co-investigators at NAVSEA Crane.Presented by Ken LaBel, NASA/GSFC at the SEE Symposium in Manhattan Beach, CA on Apr 23, 200220
