Scientists Working On Radiation Testing In A Lab

ELDRS Testing

The ATS Family of Companies utilizes our radiation lab services to perform enhanced low dose rate sensitivity (ELDRS) testing on electronic components for inclusion in aerospace equipment.

Space Radiation
Radiation can negatively impact the reliability and functionality of electrical devices and, in turn, space missions. These effects occur over time and can lead to minor malfunctions or complete failure in space probes, satellites, landers, rockets, and other equipment.
ELDRS Radiation Effects
The intensity of radiation effects on electrical equipment primarily depends on the dose rate during exposure.
Enhanced low dose rate sensitivity (ELDRS) is a distinct form of degradation in electronic components. This effect occurs in an irradiation field with a low dose rate, which can cause more damage to components than in a high dose rate field. Testing aerospace equipment for ELDRS effects is essential when intended operating conditions include a low dose field.
Benefits of ELDRS Testing
The type of testing involved determines a component’s functionality after sustaining the effects of ELDRS. These effects can undermine or completely prevent affected electrical components from working as intended, thus jeopardizing the mission and putting lives at risk. Evaluating space electronics before the start of a mission benefits aerospace contractors and companies, as doing so helps them mitigate the effects of ELDRS radiation.
Our Radiation Testing Services
Our Family of Companies provides expertise in performing ELDRS effects testing on electronic devices going into aerospace. Our pristine laboratory meets the compliance, classification, and safety requirements for ELDRS testing.
Our radiation testing services help clients alleviate the risks ELDRS poses to electrical equipment. Manufacturers can obtain adequately hardened (rad-hard) electronic devices through design and retesting.
Radiation Testing Lab Capabilities
Accreditations and Quality Standards

We staff a highly skilled team of technicians and scientists to test for the full range of radiation effects electronic components might face in orbit. Our radiation testing services meet every requirement and standard put in place by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

We work alongside electrical component manufacturers to provide our customers with valuable insights on gaining rad-hard designs and qualifications. Furthermore, we are an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited organization.
