An overview of the main ESA Cubesat Missions and activities will be provided with emphasis on the utilised Radiation Hardness Approach. With the increased complexity of Cubesat design and mission objectives, together with the transition from educational to In-orbit demonstration missions utilising COTS, radiation hardness has become paramount to increase in-orbit availability. Details on the...

Space radiation is generally acknowledged as the main health risk for human exploration of the Solar system. Beyond Low-Earth Orbit (BLEO) missions expose crews to increasingly high fluxes of cosmic rays, including protons and heavy ions. The high uncertainty on the biological effect of the extraterrestrial radiation makes it difficult to design countermeasures. Flight experiments have...

The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility Demo Oriented NEutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) will be a novel research infrastructure for testing, validation and qualification of the materials to be used in a fusion reactor like DEMO. IFMIF DONES will mimic the conditions inside DEMO in terms of neutrons by the impact of a high-power deuteron beam onto a lithium target. Together with...
