Space Micro Inc. Delivers Radiation Detection Hardware to NASA
Space Radiation Dosimeter for "Living With a Star "(LWS) Experiment.

SAN DIEGO, CA - April 2, 2007 - Space Micro Inc. today announced the delivery of their Living with a Star (LWS), Space Environments Testbed (SET) experiment hardware. This hardware was designed by Clemson University, lead by Dr. Peter McNulty, and was delivered to NASA"s Goddard Space Flight Center. Space Micro took this design in order to test and manufacture the space-qualified card per NASA space standards. This experiment performed is called Dosimetry Intercomparison and Miniaturization Experiment (DIME), which will monitor the radiation dose seen in space using multiple radiation detector technologies. The objectives of this experiment are to use five different COTS Micro-dosimeters to characterize radiation induced total ionizing dose, displacement damage, and single event effects in space.

Mr. Dave Strobel CEO of Space Micro said, "We are pleased to have worked with both NASA and Clemson University to develop and manufacture this space hardware to support the Living with a Star program. It should enable us to learn a great deal more about space weather and how it impacts our daily lives".

The goals and benefits of this technology are to provide data to allow appropriate dosimetry selection in future missions to characterize and resolve operational anomalies, and also to validate particle transport codes by varying shielding thicknesses on RADFETs. The DIME experiment card is

scheduled to be launched as a secondary payload on an Air Force booster in 2008.
