Abstract :
This paper presents radiation experience-returns of CNES, French space agency, at low-Earth-orbit of on-board ultra-stable oscillators. It shows the current solutions used for reduce radiation sensitivity of such on-board oscillators. And, it summarizes French R&D dedicated to drastically reduce this sensitivity.
