The Department of Physics, Instrumentation, Environment and Space (DPHY) designs innovative instruments and evaluates certain aerospace environments and their consequences on on-board systems... The spaceenvironment and its effects on electronic materials and components, and the resulting charge and contamination on satellites
Spaceenvironment specialists have introduced innovations in the analysis of electrostatic discharge propagation on full-scale panels. In 2010, Onera conducted a test campaign, a worldwide first of its kind, subjecting a full-scale space solar panel to a large number of electrostatic discharges
"However, with the miniaturisation of components, the sensitivity of circuits to radiation increases" says Sophie Duzellier, a researcher from ONERA's SpaceEnvironment Department. This miniaturisation also involves decreasing the electronic circuit supply voltages
The objectives of this operational measurement phase, which will last several years, are on one hand to study the dynamics of the atmospheric radiation environment as a function of the atmospheric physical conditions, and of space meteorology, and on other hand to study Single Event Effects in electronic components
The DEMR (Electromagnetism and radar department) combines all ONERA's skills in electromagnetism and its applications for future radar and communication systems: ground or on-board radar, communications (space, aeronautical, terrestrial), radio navigation, electronic warfare (listening-in ELINT (electronic intelligence) or jamming)
