Radiation shielding

Extend mission life with lighter, more effective radiation shielding. Titomic Kinetic FusionTM allows unique fabrication of radiation shielding – customised precisely for your mission objectives.
  • Corrosion protection

Better corrosion protection

Challenge

The CubeSats and SmallSats sectors need a reliable, enduring and cost-effective alternative to prohibitively expensive radiation-hardened electronics.

Solution

Titomic’s graded-Z shielding offers radiation protection at a lower mass compared to single-material shielding, while also extending the life of sensitive electronics – and cutting costs by reducing the need for expensive radiation-hardened electronics.

The optimal shielding design is mission-specific and depends on the radiation spectrum: the proportion of protons, electrons, and gamma radiation (a function of altitude and inclination) as well as the intended dose reduction (threshold of components, accumulated or single event upset dose).

Results:

  • Increased radiation design margin
  • Increased operational life by reducing accumulated dose effects and ‘filtering’ high-energy events
  • Lower cost
  • Lightweight
  • Small payload volumes for easier shielding
  • Lower altitudes and less critical mass-to-orbit
