“Today’s spacecraft are designed to reduce power, weight, volume and cost with compressed schedules, while incorporating increased functionality and emerging commercial technologies,” said Frank Fieldson, director of SIS Specialty Engineering. “As we continue to develop systems to meet customers’ evolving needs, it is critical that we understand, model and mitigate the effects of space environments on these systems. SEE training will help our engineers do their jobs for effectively and efficiently.”

ISDE is a unique world-class training source for the design and analysis of radiation-hardened electronics. ISDE researchers develop test methods and plans for ensuring radiation hardness and solutions to system-specific problems. They also conduct research to meet microelectronic design and reliability need through physical circuit modeling, design, testing and analysis.

“We were extremely fortunate to host this cutting-edge training for our engineers,” Fieldson said. “Thanks to Vanderbilt for lending us their expertise.”
