Abstract

As the technology of exploring space is growing within this existing century, we are seeing more and more entrepreneur with deep financial pocket are trying to go to space with their massive technical efforts behind it. With thrive and innovative approach of Artificial Intelligence, companies are pushing more and more toward autonomous driving vehicle, where type of cars required to have a 100% stereo coverage of earth surface for their driving aspect of autonomy along with uplink and downlink communication in use and for that they either need satellites parked at Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) or Low Earth Orbit (LEO) without any doubts. Most of these sophisticated satellites are carrying a lot of digital electronic gadgets on board that are they may or may not be susceptible to Space Radiation Environment either natural or man-made forms one way or the others. Thus, with this space radiation in mind that are having adverse effects on electronic and integrated circuits (ICs) on board comes Radiation Hardening (Rad-Hard) requirements for them to be able to successfully and fully operational. This short review will cove the subject of space radiation environment hardening that comes along to protect electronic on board of these satellites.
