| - Identify and analyze the key environmental factors that differentiate space conditions at various orbital altitudes from those on Earth, such as radiation, temperature variations, and mechanical vibrations, among others.
- Study the certification process of electronic components for space applications, comparing in-house validation with certification through specialized companies. - Evaluate the feasibility of certifying components within the company and determine in which cases external certifiers are required. - Establish a structured methodology to assess the suitability of components in different orbital environments, with a particular focus on LEO. **Methodology:** 1. **Theoretical Analysis and Literature Review:** - Study the environmental conditions in different orbits (LEO, MEO, GEO) and their impact on electronic components. - Assess the operational and commercial importance of each altitude, considering factors such as radiation exposure, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress. - Review certification standards, facilities, and processes (ESA, NASA, MIL-STD, ECSS, etc.). 2. **Experimental Phase:** - Selection of key nanosatellite components that are most sensitive to space environmental conditions. - Conduct in-house testing where possible, prioritizing conditions representative of the most commonly used environments in the industry. - Collaborate with external laboratories to conduct additional tests when necessary, performing upscreening in cases where in-house testing is not feasible. 3. **Comparison and Analysis:** - Compare in-house certification with external certification in terms of costs, benefits, and feasibility for a startup in the sector. - Analyze test results and create a database of certified components, their operational ranges, and limitations. **Expected Results:** - A detailed report on the environmental factors affecting electronic components in space and the required certification processes. - A comparative analysis of in-house vs. external certification, highlighting the cost-benefit ratio for aerospace startups. - A structured database of analyzed components, their certification status, and the orbital environments in which they can operate. - Practical recommendations to optimize the certification process for future satellite missions, aligned with current industry trends. |
