Interplanetary space weather effects on Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter avalanche photodiode performance.

Space weather is a major concern for radiation-sensitive space systems, particularly for interplanetary missions, which operate outside of the protection of Earth's magnetic field. We examine and quantify the effects of space weather on silicon avalanche photodiodes (SiAPDs), which are used for...
