Optical interconnect within space vehicles in low-Earth orbit

2021-05-11
When components, like embedded optical transceivers are deployed in space on a satellite or on a space vehicle, they are exposed to both protons and heavy ions from cosmic rays and solar flares. This is why, unlike most electronic equipment designed for terrestrial use, hardware deployed at LEO (low-Earth orbit: altitudes between 500 and 2000 km), must be radiation resistant.
The charged particles are concentrated by the Earth magnetic field into two principal zones called the Val Allen belts. The inner belt ranges from 1000 to 10 000 km in altitude and overlap the LEO zone where most satellites discussed by this application will be located.
