Summary |
DSRP is a 0.3U payload designed to be mounted to the exterior panel of the ispace Hakuto-R lunar lander. The payload contains a controller board, processing element, embedded software, radiation sensitive field effect transitor dosimeter, and Flash memory that is used for data storage and detection of single event upset bit flips. The payload chasis provides protection from the severe thermal environment using a radiator and multi-layer insulation, new technology developments for deep space. |
Scientific Breakthrough |
"Deep space is a harsh environment for spacecraft due to higher ionizing radiation doses, as well as extreme thermal conditions due to contant exposure to the Sun or cold dark space. Flight oppertunities to this deep space and lunar space environment are rare, leading to fewer scientific observations in this region, increasing the value
of the data that DSRP can provide. Parallel design of DSRP and the Hakuto-R lander by different teams also contributes to the complexity of system integration." |
Industrial Applicability |
"With the return to the Moon over the next decade, as well as a policies of several countries to commercialize routine space services, the capacity to design and implement spacecraft designs that can survive and function in such a deep space environment is increasingly important. Additionally, DSRP will aid in understanding the ionizi
ng radiation environment and its effects on electronics and biological organisms to facilitate such exploration, building Taiwan's first deep space capacity." |
