Megavolts 14: Prepping satellite tech for launch

Friday 28 November 2025 10am

At HIAF we have our own little piece of outer space – complete with bombarding radiation. The new space testing beamline at HIAF is helping get technology into space, by testing it in this simulated space environment before launch.

Paul Alvino from Defence Science and Technology group in South Australia explains the crucial role of the accelerator in our sovereign capabilities in the space sector.

Megavolts Ep 11: Testing silicon chips for space

Up above the protection of the earth's atmosphere and magnetic field, satellites face a lot of radiation in space. A single cosmic ray hitting a satellite's electronics can wreak havoc on an entire multi-million dollar space mission, so it's crucial to design and test radiation hardened electronics for spacecraft. In...

Megavolts Episode 12: Testing dark matter detector purity

The challenge with detecting dark matter is that the signal will probably be incredibly small – perhaps only a couple of particles per day. So it would be really easy to be fooled by some other signal, such as lead-210, which is radioactive. Dr Anton Wallner is testing the crystals that will be used...
