Radiation-Hardened Semiconductors Fly on NASA Roman Telescope

eeNews Europe states that Infineon radiation-hardened power semiconductors are aboard NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. The parts support power systems built for long-duration work at the Sun-Earth L2 point, more than 1.5 million km from Earth. The publication notes the components are engineered to handle radiation exposure for up to a decade. The report links the placement to the telescope’s mission requirements at that orbit.
