  2. South Atlantic Anomaly

    Linked via "Single Event Upsets, SEUs"

    Exposure to these intense particle fluxes can cause several well-documented issues in spacecraft electronics:
    Single Event Effects (SEEs): High-energy protons striking sensitive semiconductor junctions can cause charge deposition, leading to temporary faults (Single Event Upsets, SEUs), data corruption, or permanent device failure ([Single Event Latchup, SEL](/entries/s…
