Abstract
Until now, the effects of the space environment on the electronics of European launchers had never been taken into account. The situation has changed entirely with the ARIANE 5 launcher, whose trajectory may go up to 3000 km. This presentation explains the procedure we used to guarantee that the launcher works faultlessly in the space environment
