SPACE ENVIRONMENT TESTBEDS (SET)
The Space Environment Testbeds (SET) Project
performs flight and ground investigations to address the
Living With
a Star (LWS) Program goal of understanding how the Sun/Earth
interactions affect humanity. The SET Project
is the element of the LWS Program that characterizes the
space environment and its impact on hardware performance
in space.
Space Environment Testbeds (SET) Project Goal:
Improve the engineering approach to accommodation and/or mitigation of the
effects of solar variability on spacecraft design and operations.
 Objectives:
- Define the mechanisms for induced space environment
and effects
- Reduce uncertainties in the definitions
of the induced environment and effects on spacecraft
and their payloads
- Improve design and operations guidelines
and test protocols so that spacecraft anomalies and
failures due to environmental effects during operations
are reduced.
