Abstract
As a matter of fact, near space radiation environment analysis plays a crucial role in near space physics. With this in mind, this study introduces the types of radiation damage in the near-space radiation environment as well as corresponding protective measures. To be specific, the protective strategy for Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and for Displacement Damage (DD) are similar, focusing on material shielding to mitigate the effects. According to the analysis, the guiding principle for the protection strategy against Single Event Effects (SEE) is risk management, aiming to minimize the probability of catastrophic SEE and to detect and mitigate the impact of non-destructive SEE. Based on the analysis, some measures are proposed accordingly. In fact, current strategies for future radiation protection may involve the use of biological membranes to absorb radiation or the application of quantum mechanics principles to eliminate the effects brought about by radiation. These results shed light on guiding further exploration if near space radiation.
