The workshop will be delivered by internationally recognized leaders in the Space Industry fields who will focus on Space Qualification requirements and testing of radiation effects in microelectronics, radiation hardness assurance and reliability, radiation testing facilities and radiation dosimetry.
The workshop will address the current status of radiation and non-radiation testing facilities for space qualification in Australia and their future development under the umbrella of the National Space Qualification Network (NSQN). The NSQN founding partners have received funding from the Australian Commonwealth Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources through a Space Payload Qualification Facilities Grant to address the needs of the rapidly growing Australian space industry and to further facilitate international space science and engineering networks and collaborations.
This 1st Space Qualification workshop represents a foundation platform for the annual Short Course on Space Qualification, compatible with a tertiary education micro-credentialing scheme to be delivered in 2023 (Noosa 12-13 February, 2023). Follow this link for the syllabus.
