Abstract
Many space programs depend on cutting-edge technology to increase computational power without increasing the power or weight of the payload. For these types of programs, component testing is necessary to ensure that the components do not fail while deployed. Radiation testing for advanced technology components can be challenging since the underlying architecture and organization of the component might be complex. This paper will cover a review of component testing best practices for total ionizing dose and single-event effect testing from recent years.
