From page 61...
... In conducting the study and preparing its report, the committee will: • Assess the existing infrastructure for verifying the ability of existing and emerging microelectronic, optoelectronic, and photonic components to operate properly in the space radiation environment. A full definition of infrastructure shall include, but not necessarily be limited to the following five bulleted items: -- Facilities and related resources necessary to characterize radiation stress induced failure modes of electronic components; -- Simulation capabilities and related theory and modeling; -- Facilities and related resources available for undertaking those simulations; -- The workforce available to conduct such simulation and characterization; and -- The training and research experience programs in place to prepare a workforce for these activities.
