Space radiation interests space physicists and is of concern to satellite engineers. By designing small, sophisticated radiation monitors and placing them on a number of microsatellite missions, Surrey scientists have built a global reputation for monitoring the orbital radiation environment and its effects on the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electronic devices used in SSTL satellites.

This long term campaign of measuring cosmic particles and trapped radiation in a variety of orbits has also produced novel scientific results and increasedthe company'sunderstanding of the dynamics of the radiation belts.

Following the acquisition of SIRA Electro-Optics in 2006, SSTL also offer high precision optical instruments and sub-systems from our Class 10 facilities at Sevenoaks, Kent.
