Abstract

This paper describes observations of single-event memory upsets in the UoSAT-2 satellite Digital Communications Experiment. Two years of SEU observations for Harris 6564 memories are included, presented both as error rate statistics and as a map of satellite orbital location at the time of error occurrence. The results presented here are the preliminary observations in a long-term single-event upset study funded by ESA-ESTEC.
