This book describes for readers the protection of electronic hardware in space vehicles from
the negative effects of space dust and electromagnetic irradiation. The authors explain the
mechanisms of ¿space dust¿ (high velocity particles in space) the effects on the on-board
electronic hardware of space vehicles and development of protection methods from these
influences on humans equipment and microcircuits. Coverage includes hard-to-find technical
information on the design of special boosters for accelerating microparticles to space
velocities techniques for conducting experiments on Earth data processing and practical
examples. The authors also discuss fabrication technologies and composition of special radio
absorbent materials for protecting space vehicles from the electromagnetic irradiation.
