Driven mainly by cost saving, Radiation Testing at the Component level is “replaced” by Radiation Testing at the Board / Module / Subsystem level. The New Space industry resorts to this way of saving. Such a shortcut is obviously cost-efficient, but it still invokes knowledgeable, educated technical decisions. It is not enough to accept some usually undefined risks. The cost of cost-saving has to be known. Even for New Space, the space environment did not change!!!
The presentation presents what you lose and what you gain by such shortcuts.
