Published purpose

Earth's magnetosphere contains ionized particles that can cause damage to electrical systems in spacecraft. DPL Science has developed the Dielectric Deep Charge Monitor (DDCM) to warn of possible deep charging in spacecraft. This project aims to develop multiple sample measurement capabilities in the DDCM and to allow the DDCM to be incorporated into radiation monitoring suites. This project will also work to upgrade DPL Science's Spacecraft Power Module to withstand radiation encountered between 2,000 km and 35,786 km from Earth's equator, which will greatly increase potential applications for the module.
