Comprehensive radiation effects capabilities under one roof.
The Aerospace Research Center (ARC) is the first purpose-built, privately owned facility in the U.S. engineered exclusively for proton testing. We have eliminated the scheduling bottlenecks and hardware compromises of clinical facility moonlighting to provide manufacturers a dedicated environment for rigorous component qualification.
High-Flux Proton Acceleration: Delivers up to 230 MeV protons at flux densities up to 108 cm2/s. Energy can be degraded down to 50 MeV.
Mission-Critical Reliability: Hardware and beamlines optimized specifically for MIL-STD-883 and space-grade reliability testing.
Sustained Throughput: Dedicated 24/7 availability for rapid qualification of LEO, GEO, and deep-space hardware.
Industry-First Access: Direct, independent verification for satellite operators, defense contractors, and aerospace manufacturers.
"The technology you use impresses no one. The experience you create with it is everything." - CEO Portal
Stop juggling multiple labs and clinical scheduling conflicts. The Aerospace Research Center (ARC) delivers a consolidated, mission-ready environment for end-to-end component qualification. From proton-induced Single Event Effects to destructive physical analysis, we provide the full spectrum of reliability testing under one roof. We’re currently seeking long-term partners interested in bulk beam-time purchasing.
High-Flux Proton Acceleration:
Purpose-built system delivering 230 MeV protons at flux densities up to 108 cm2/s for SEE and TID characterization.
High-intensity Flash X-ray pulses (nanosecond scale) to validate hardware survivability against transient radiation bursts and prompt-dose latch-up.
Sustained, high-dose-rate Gamma irradiation for accelerated Total Ionizing Dose (TID) life-cycle testing.
In-house decapping labs, thermal cycling, and forensic FA suites to identify silicon-level root causes without shipping parts off-site.
Spacecraft and satellites face intense radiation from galactic cosmic rays, solar particle events, and Earth’s Van Allen belts. This radiation can cause three primary types of damage to electronics and materials:
Gradual degradation that shifts device parameters and can lead to failure over time.
A single high-energy particle can flip bits (SEU), trigger destructive latchup (SEL), or burn out power devices (SEB/SEGR).
Atomic displacements that reduce solar cell efficiency and degrade optoelectronics.
