In-flight analysis of enabling technology

Flight and ground test Single Event Effect (SEE) data are presented on spacecraft systems and experiments utilizing three enabling technologies, a Fiber Optic Data Bus (FODB), a Solid State Recorder (SSR), and a power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). Extended datasets on system and device performance from multiple NASA spacecraft and experiments, as well as design implications of flight results, are discussed.
