Description
The ENEA Frascati Particle Accelerator Laboratory operates a set of S-band electron and proton linear accelerators providing beams relevant for radiation-effects studies in the aerospace sector. The TOP-IMPLART proton LINAC delivers low-energy (1–6 MeV) and high-energy (up to 71 MeV) beams, while the REX and TECHEA facilities supply 3.5–5 MeV and 1–3 MeV electron beams, respectively; both can also operate as X-ray sources via removable bremsstrahlung converters.
The contribution reviews ENEA activities in aerospace applications, including irradiation of electronic components, material and shielding studies, and radiobiology and astrobiology experiments. ENEA is involved in several national and European projects— such as Cyptomars, Space It Up!, Space-EBC, and Thread — addressing key topics for space exploration. In parallel, ENEA provides irradiation services within infrastructures such as DIANA and ASIF supporting component testing and material qualification.
This work highlights ENEA’s role in supporting the aerospace community through advanced accelerator capabilities, coordinated research initiatives, and a broad portfolio of irradiation services aimed at enhancing the robustness and space-readiness of technologies for future missions.
