Abstract . A first-generation CMOS Charged Particle Spectrometer chip [1] was designed at JPL for flight on the STRV-2 spacecraft. These devices will collect electron and proton spectra in low Earth orbit as part of an experiment to demonstrate Active Pixel Sensor (APS) technology in space. This paper presents the results of total dose testing on these chips and, where possible, attempts to extend the results to other Active Pixel Sensors. ...

... In order to further constrain the design task, and to map to the flow of a design from abstract to concrete, a set of abstract towers were defined. ... The abstract supports are replaced by actual supports placed on top of each other, with angles between the joints determined automatically according to the connectors at the joints. ... It is composed of a single support. Its base and platform sizes are relatively meaningless, since the support is placed in their center (see Figure ). ...
