Feature
Desired Behavior / Functionality
At the moment, radiation model does not include cumulative effects. such as Total Ionizing Dose (TID) (https://space-env.esa.int/total-ionising-dose/) or Total Non-Ionizing Dose (TNID) https://spacetalos.com/news/space-radiation-effects-on-electronics-ddd-effects/. Those are cumulative effects.
What Needs to Be Done
Every device has its own TID and TNID. To simplify, we can add a TID or a TNID for each SapaceCraft actor (matching the smallest TIDs and TNIDs among the device).
Then we model the charge accumulation process, where charge can be trapped or damage being accumulated with a certain probability. Probability of events depend on the orbit. We might neglect this aspect at the first instance.
We compare the current trapped_charge and displace_damage with the max TID and TNID and we declare the actor dead once one of them passes the threshold.
How Can It Be Tested
TBD
