In-flight Irradiation EffectsIn-flight Irradiation Effects
In-flight proton irradiation from a nuclearheater located close to the CCD (~10 cm)
Resulting effects:
• Perfect thermal balance established• Dark charge increase about 60x with minor effects
(low temperature, short exposure times, 7 to 50 ms)• CTE degradation
