Overview

Providing a comprehensive discussion of SEU, this text should be of interest to designers of satellite electronics systems and missile systems. It should also be helpful in achieving the hardened designs that are necessary to protect these systems. The book should be of interest to electrical and electronic engineers; spacecraft and satellite design engineers; aircraft and aerospace designers and engineers in both military and commercial industries; and missile system engineers.
