Visibility into component-family characterization.
The Orbital Veritas Radiation Campaign Pipeline follows commercially relevant semiconductor technologies from nomination through approved test boards, radiation campaigns, evidence publication, and future date-code characterization.
Rather than focusing on component approval, the pipeline focuses on evidence generation.
It provides a transparent view of how characterization history develops across campaigns, manufacturers, and manufacturing periods, creating a growing body of evidence for the New Space ecosystem.
Radiation evidence is generated one campaign at a time.
Across the New Space ecosystem, many commercially relevant semiconductor technologies are characterized independently by different organizations.
One organization may characterize a component family in 2024. Another may evaluate a different date code in 2026. Valuable information often remains isolated inside individual campaigns, reports, organizations, and laboratories.
Orbital Veritas helps make this process more transparent.
The result is fragmented evidence.
As a result, engineering teams frequently struggle to understand the current state of available characterization data.
By connecting component-family programmes, approved test boards, radiation campaigns, evidence packages, and date-code characterization into a single framework, the platform provides visibility into how evidence is generated and how characterization history evolves over time.

How characterization history evolves

A structured path from component family to evidence.
The Radiation Campaign Pipeline follows a repeatable framework for generating, expanding, and maintaining radiation evidence for commercially relevant semiconductor technologies.
Each stage contributes to a growing body of characterization history that can be expanded through future campaigns and date-code characterization.
Component Family Programme
A commercially relevant semiconductor technology is selected for characterization based on ecosystem relevance, manufacturer participation, or industry demand. Typical programmes may include CAN transceivers, DC/DC converters, LDO regulators, ADCs, memories, timing devices, and industrial sensors.
Board Development
A characterization board is developed using manufacturer application expertise and documented according to Orbital Veritas methodology requirements. The board provides a repeatable foundation for evidence generation.
Board Approval
Orbital Veritas reviews the board against a standardized characterization framework. The objective is to ensure repeatability, traceability, measurable outcomes, and campaign consistency. Board approval does not imply component approval.
Campaign Planned
Characterization objectives, target date codes, evaluated radiation effects, participating organizations, and expected evidence outputs are defined before campaign execution begins.
Active Characterization
The approved board enters a structured radiation campaign. Testing may include Total Ionizing Dose, Single Event Effects, Single Event Latch-up, Single Event Upset, Single Event Transient, Displacement Damage, and Parametric Drift, depending on the technology being characterized.
Evidence Published
Campaign results are transformed into structured evidence packages and added to the Component Evidence Database. Evidence becomes available through component-family records, campaign history, characterization records, and approved board references.
Date-Code Expansion
Additional campaigns characterize future date codes, manufacturing periods, and process revisions. This expands the evidence base and improves understanding of long-term component-family behavior.
Longitudinal Evidence Available
Multiple campaigns and multiple date codes create a growing characterization history. Over time, this provides better visibility into consistency, variation, process evolution, evidence maturity, and confidence growth.
Multiple pathways into characterization.
Component-family programmes can begin from different sources, but all follow the same evidence-generation framework. Regardless of how a programme starts, Orbital Veritas applies the same methodology, board approval process, campaign governance, and evidence publication standards.
The objective is to create reusable characterization history that can grow through future campaigns and date-code expansion. This keeps each programme connected to a wider evidence base rather than a single isolated test activity.
Manufacturer Programme
A semiconductor manufacturer initiates characterization of a commercially relevant component family and contributes technical expertise, traceability information, and approved test boards. This pathway is particularly valuable for technologies with broad relevance across the New Space ecosystem.
Component Family Programme
A technology category is selected because it appears repeatedly across spacecraft platforms, payloads, avionics, communications systems, or power architectures. Typical examples include CAN transceivers, DC/DC converters, LDO regulators, ADCs, memories, and timing devices. The resulting evidence can benefit multiple organizations evaluating similar technologies.
Multi-Organization Campaign
Several organizations participate in the characterization of a common component family. This approach helps expand evidence coverage while creating a larger body of shared characterization history.
Internal Characterization Initiative
Orbital Veritas may initiate characterization programmes for high-interest technologies where evidence gaps are significant and ecosystem value is clear. These programmes focus on expanding the overall evidence base rather than supporting a single project.
Date-Code Expansion Programme
Existing component-family programmes can be extended through additional date-code characterization. As new manufacturing periods, process revisions, and date codes become available, additional campaigns expand understanding of long-term component-family behaviour.
Longitudinal Characterization Programme
Selected technologies may remain active for multiple years as characterization history continues to grow. These programmes focus on building a long-term record of consistency, variation, process evolution, evidence maturity, and confidence growth across multiple campaigns and date codes.
Every campaign becomes reusable evidence. A completed campaign should create more than test results. It should produce structured evidence that can be reviewed, referenced, and expanded through future characterization activities.
Built for organizations that contribute to and rely on evidence.
Satellite companies, subsystem suppliers, semiconductor manufacturers, laboratories, and research organizations can participate in the growth of the Orbital Veritas evidence ecosystem.
The platform is designed to help organizations discover characterization history, participate in campaigns, nominate technologies, and expand the body of available radiation evidence.
As new programmes, campaigns, and date-code characterizations are completed, the value of the ecosystem grows for everyone involved.
Participation pathways help organizations contribute to evidence generation, follow characterization progress, and access the growing body of campaign history and component-family records.
