EDAC data with SEP detections
This dataset contains housekeeping data Error Detection and Correction (EDAC) memory counters from 7 different missions of the European Space Agency with clear detections of Solar Energetic Particles. The missions are Venus Express, Mars Express, ExoMars-Trace Gas Orbiter, Rosetta, BepiColombo, Solar Orbiter and Gaia.
EDACs are pieces of code that protect memories in a spacecraft computer from bit-flips caused by single event upsets.
Data shown here are part of the paper entilted: "Solar energetic particle events detected in the housekeeping data of the European Space Agency’s spacecraft flotilla in the Solar System" in the journal Space Weather.
