Space engineering - Method for the calculation of radiation received and its effects, and a policy for design margins

EN 16603-10-12 is a part of the System Engineering branch of the ECSS engineering standards and covers the methods for the calculation of radiation received and its effects, and a policy for design margins. Both natural and man-made sources of radiation (e.g. radioisotope thermoelectric generators, or RTGs) are considered in the standard. This standard applies to the evaluation of radiation effects on all space systems. This standard applies to all product types which exist or operate in space, as well as to crews of manned space missions. The standard aims to implement a space system engineering process that ensures common understanding by participants in the development and operation process (including Agencies, customers, suppliers, and developers) and use of common methods in evaluation of radiation effects. This standard is complemented by ECSS-E-HB-10-12 “Radiation received and its effects and margin policy handbook”. This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.

Vesoljska tehnika - Metoda za izračun prejetega sevanja in njegovih učinkov ter politika pri zasnovi mejnih vrednosti

Standard EN 16603-10-12 je del veje sistemskega načrtovanja standardov tehnike ECSS (evropsko sodelovanje za standardizacijo na področju vesolja) in obravnava metode za izračun prejetega sevanja in njegovih učinkov ter politiko pri zasnovi mejnih vrednosti. V tem standardu so obravnavani naravni in umetni viri sevanja (npr. radioizotopni termoelektrični generatorji ali RTG). Ta standard se uporablja za ocenjevanje učinkov sevanja na vse vesoljske sisteme. Ta standard se uporablja za vse vrste proizvodov, ki obstajajo ali delujejo v vesolju, ter tudi za ekipe vesoljskih misij z osebjem. Cilj standarda je izvajati proces tehnike vesoljskega sistema, ki zagotavlja splošno razumevanje udeležencev pri procesu razvoja in delovanja (vključno z agencijami, strankami, dobavitelji in razvijalci) ter uporabi skupnih metod za ocenjevanje učinkov sevanja. Ta standard dopolnjuje standard ECSS-E-HB-10-12, tj. priročnik o prejetem sevanju in njegovih učinkih ter politiki pri zasnovi mejnih vrednosti. Ta standard se lahko prilagodi posameznim lastnostim in omejitvam vesoljskega projekta v skladu s standardom ECSS-S-ST-00.

EN 16603-10-12:2014 (E) 9 3 Terms, definitions and abbreviated terms 3.1 Terms from other standards For the purpose of this Standard, the terms and definitions from ECSS-ST-00-01 apply, in particular for the following terms: derating subsystem 3.2 Terms specific to the present standard 3.2.1 absorbed dose energy absorbed locally per unit mass as a result of radiation exposure which is transferred through ionisation, displacement damage and excitation and is the sum of the ionising dose and non-ionising dose NOTE 1 It is normally represented by D, and in accordance with the definition, it can be calculated as the quotient of the energy imparted due to radiation in the matter in a volume element and the mass of the matter in that volume element. It is measured in units of gray, Gy (1 Gy = 1 J kg-1 (= 100 rad)). NOTE 2 The absorbed dose is the basic physical quantity that measures radiation exposure. 3.2.2 air kerma energy of charged particles released by photons per unit mass of dry air NOTE
It is normally represented by K. 3.2.3 ambient dose equivalent, H*(d) dose at a point equivalent to the one produced by the corresponding expanded and aligned radiation field in the ICRU sphere at a specific depth on the radius opposing the direction of the aligned field NOTE 1 It is normally represented by H*(d), where d is the specific depth used in its definition, in mm. NOTE 2 H*(d) is relevant to strongly penetrating radiation. The value normally used is 10 mm, SIST EN 16603-10-12:2014



EN 16603-10-12:2014 (E) 10 but dose equivalent at other depths can be used when the dose equivalent at 10 mm provides an unacceptable underestimate of the effective dose. 3.2.4 bremsstrahlung high energy electromagnetic radiation in the X-ray energy range emitted by charged particles slowing down by scattering off atomic nuclei NOTE
The primary particle is ultimately absorbed while the bremsstrahlung can be highly penetrating. In space the most common source of bremsstrahlung is electron scattering. 3.2.5 component device that performs a function and consists of one or more elements joined together and which cannot be disassembled without destruction 3.2.6 continuous slowing down approximation range (CSDA) integral pathlength travelled by charged particles in a material assuming no stochastic variations between different particles of the same energy, and no angular deflections of the particles 3.2.7 COTS commercial electronic component readily available off-the-shelf, and not manufactured, inspected or tested in accordance with military or space standards 3.2.8 critical charge minimum amount of charge collected at a sensitive node due to a charged particle strike that results in a SEE 3.2.9 cross-section probability of a single event effect occurring per unit incident particle fluence NOTE
This is experimentally measured as the number of events recorded per unit fluence. 3.2.10 cross-section probability of a particle interaction per unit incident particle fluence NOTE
It is sometimes referred to as the microscopic cross-section. Other related definition is the macroscopic cross section, defines as the probability of an interaction per unit path-length of the particle in a material. SIST EN 16603-10-12:2014



EN 16603-10-12:2014 (E) 11 3.2.11 directional dose equivalent
dose at a point equivalent to the one produced by the corresponding expanded radiation field in the ICRU sphere at a specific depth d on a radius on a specified direction NOTE 1 It is normally expressed as H′(d, ), where d is the specific depth used in its definition, in mm, and
is the direction.
NOTE 2 H′(d-penetrating radiation
where a reference depth of 0,07 mm is usually used and the quantity denoted H′(0,07,
3.2.12 displacement damage crystal structure damage caused when particles lose energy by elastic or inelastic collisions in a material 3.2.13 dose quantity of radiation delivered at a position NOTE 1 In its broadest sense this can include the flux of particles, but in the context of space energetic particle radiation effects, it usually refers to the energy absorbed locally per unit mass as a result of radiation exposure. NOTE 2 If “dose” is used unqualified, it refers to both ionising and non-ionising dose. Non-ionising dose can be quantified either through energy deposition via displacement damage or damage-equivalent fluence (see Clause 8). 3.2.14 dose equivalent absorbed dose at a point in tissue which is weighted by quality factors which are related to the LET distribution of the radiation at that point 3.2.15 dose rate rate at which radiation is delivered per unit time 3.2.16 effective dose sum of the equivalent doses for all irradiated tissues or organs, each weighted by its own value of tissue weighting factor NOTE 1 It is normally represented by E, and in accordance with the definition it is calculated with the equation below, and the wT is specified in the ICRP-92 standard [RDH.22]: ∑⋅=TTHwE

EN 16603-10-12:2014 (E) 12 NOTE 2 Effective dose, like organ equivalent dose, is measured in units of sievert, Sv. Occasionally this use of the same unit for different quantities can give rise to confusion. 3.2.17 energetic particle particle which, in the context of space systems radiation effects, can penetrate outer surfaces of spacecraft 3.2.18 equivalent dose See 3.2.41 (organ equivalent dose) 3.2.19 equivalent fluence quantity which represents the damage at different energies and from different species by a fluence of monoenergetic particles of a single species NOTE 1 These are usually derived through testing. NOTE 2 Damage coefficients are used to scale the effect caused by particles to the damage caused by a standard particle and energy. 3.2.20 extrapolated range range determined by extrapolating the line of maximum gradient in the intensity curve until it reaches zero intensity 3.2.21 Firsov scattering the reflection of fast ions from a dense medium at glancing angles NOTE
See references [2]. 3.2.22 fluence time-integration of flux NOTE
It is normally represented by
3.2.23 flux number of particles crossing a surface at right angles to the particle direction, per unit area per unit time 3.2.24 flux number of particles crossing a sphere of unit cross-sectional area (i.e. of radius 1/π) per unit time NOTE 1 For arbitrary angular distributions, it is normally known as omnidirectional flux. NOTE 2 Flux is often expressed in “integral form” as particles per unit time (e.g. electrons cm-2 s-1) above a certain energy threshold. NOTE 3 The directional flux is the differential with respect to solid angle (e.g. particles-cm-2steradian-1s-1) while the “differential” flux is SIST EN 16603-10-12:2014



EN 16603-10-12:2014 (E) 13 differential with respect to energy (e.g. particles-cm-2MeV-1s-1). In some cases fluxes are treated as a differential with respect to linear energy transfer rather than energy. 3.2.25 ICRU sphere sphere of 30 cm diameter made of ICRU soft tissue NOTE
This definition is provided by the International Commission of Radiation Units and Measurements Report 33 [12]. 3.2.26 ICRU Soft Tissue tissue equivalent material with a density of 1 g/cm3 and a mass composition of 76,2 % oxygen, 11,1 % carbon, 10,1 % hydrogen and 2,6 % nitrogen. NOTE
This definition is provided in the ICRU Report 33 [12].
3.2.27 ionising dose amount of energy per unit mass transferred by particles to a target material in the form of ionisation and excitation 3.2.28 ionising radiation transfer of energy by means of particles where the particle has sufficient energy to remove electrons, or undergo elastic or inelastic interactions with nuclei (including displacement of atoms), and in the context of this standard includes photons in the X-ray energy band and above 3.2.29 isotropic property of a distribution of particles where the flux is constant over all directions 3.2.30 L or L-shell parameter of the geomagnetic field often used to describe positions in near-Earth space NOTE
L or L-shell has a complicated derivation based on an invariant of the motion of charged particles in the terrestrial magnetic field. However it is useful in defining plasma regimes within the magnetosphere because, for a dipole magnetic field, it is equal to the geocentric altitude in Earth-radii of the local magnetic field line where it crosses the equator. 3.2.31 linear energy transfer (LET) rate of energy deposited through ionisation from a slowing energetic particle with distance travelled in matter, the energy being imparted to the material NOTE 1 LET is normally used to describe the ionisation track caused due to the passage of an ion. LET SIST EN 16603-10-12:2014



EN 16603-10-12:2014 (E) 14 is material dependent and is also a function of particle energy and charge. For ions involved in space radiation effects, it increases with decreasing energy (it also increases at high energies, beyond the minimum ionising energy). LET allows different ions to be considered together by simply representing the ion environment as the summation of the fluxes of all ions as functions of their LETs. This simplifies single-event upset calculation. The rate of energy loss of a particle, which also includes emitted secondary radiations, is the stopping power. NOTE 2 LET is not equal to (but is often approximated to) particle electronic stopping power, which is the energy loss due to ionisation and excitation per unit pathlength. 3.2.32 LET Threshold minimum LET that a particle should have to cause a SEE in a circuit when going through a device sensitive volume 3.2.33 margin factor or difference between the design environment specification for a device or product and the environment at which unacceptable behaviour occurs 3.2.34 mean organ absorbed dose energy absorbed by an organ due to ionising radiation divided by its mas
