About the Speaker
Tomasz Rajkowski graduated from the Electronics Department at Warsaw University of Technology. From 2011 to 2017, he worked at the Space Research Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences as an electronics test engineer (BRITE-PL project) and later as a hardware designer and project manager (ESA OPS-SAT project). Between 2018 and 2020, he completed his PhD at the University of Montpellier, conducting research at 3D-Plus on the radiation qualification of space systems. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher at the National Centre for Nuclear Research, specializing in radiation hardness assurance and serving as an engineer and consultant for several national and European space projects.
Abstract
This seminar provides an introduction to the key challenges of ensuring that space system electronics can withstand the harsh radiation environment of space. It begins with an overview of the Earth’s surrounding radiation environment, including examples of tools used to simulate radiation levels. A concise summary of the main radiation effects on electronics will follow, accompanied by an explanation of the testing methods for both total ionizing dose (TID) and single event effects (SEE). Finally, the seminar will outline the typical radiation hardness assurance process, with suggestions for potential simplifications where applicable.
