The Effectiveness of Specialized IC Packages: Experimental and Monte-Carlo Simulation for Basic Orbits and Spacecraft Shielding

This paper presents the evaluation results of the specialized ICs packages (100- and 144- ceramic packages) using proton and electron accelerators and Monte-Carlo (forward and reverse/adjoint) simulation. Proton and electron results are verified by forward Monte-Carlo modelling and the packages shielding effectiveness is calculated for a wide- range space radiation environment (5 orbits from low-earth orbit to geostationary orbit) and different spacecraft shielding thicknesses using reverse/adjoint Monte-Carlo method.
