Fitting a Model to Floating Gate Prompt Charge Loss Test Data for the Samsung 8 Gb SLC NAND Flash Memory

A recent model provides risk estimates for the deprogramming, of initially programmed floating gates, via prompt charge loss produced by an ionizing radiation environment. The environment can be a mixture of electrons, protons, and heavy ions. The model requires several input parameters. Parameters intended to produce conservative risk estimates for the Samsung 8 Gb SLC NAND flash memory are given, subject to some qualifications.

Overlap Preservation Using Loosely-Coupled Boundary Conditions for Body-Fitted Structured Overset Grids

Several improvements are made to overlap preservation in the automated approach to generating overset structured meshes. A loosely-coupled boundary condition (LCBC) is introduced to maintain optimal overlap for surface meshes generated from overlapping initial curves. Extension of the LCBC scheme to three-dimensional volume meshing is also presented. Test cases include various rotary wing vehicles from NASA’s Revolutionary Vertical Lift Technology (RVLT) project, and the wing-body geometry from the NASA Juncture Flow Experiment. Results demonstrate improvements in donor stencil quality from the enhanced overlap between neighboring surface and volume meshes.

Full Spectrum Fitting Analysis of Bulk Elemental Composition Analyzer (BECA) Gamma Ray Data

The Bulk Elemental Composition Analyzer (BECA) is an instrument developed through NASA’s Development and Advancement of Lunar Instrumentation (DALI) program to measure the in situ bulk elemental composition of the lunar regolith from either a lander or rover platform. BECA uses active neutron and gamma ray spectroscopy to make these measurements and thus consists of a Pulsed Neutron Generator (PNG), a CeBr3 scintillator Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS), and two He-3 neutron detectors. As shown in Figure 1, the PNG emits 14.1 MeV neutrons that induce lunar materials to emit gamma rays with energies characteristic of the elements that produced them. The GRS measures the energy spectra of these gamma rays to identify the elements present and establish their absolute concentrations in the regolith. The analysis of BECA’s gamma ray spectral data yields quantitative elemental concentrations by mass (wt.%) in the material directly beneath the lunar lander or rover. A Compact Neutron Monitor (CNM) attached to the PNG precisely measures the output of 14.1 MeV neutrons to enable quantification of absolute elemental abundances.
