scope:
Practice:
Design spacecraft hardware assemblies with the required radiation design margin (RDM) to assure that they can withstand ionization effects and displacement damage resulting from the flight radiation environment. The term "margin" does not imply a known factor of safety but rather accommodates the uncertainty in the radiation susceptibility predictions. The reliability requirement to survive for a period of time in the anticipated mission radiation environment is a spacecraft design driver.
