| Risk ID | Description | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation | |---------|-------------|------------|--------|------------| | R1 | Radiation‑induced degradation of CZT detector. | Medium | High | Use radiation‑hard shielding (Al + Polyethylene); implement on‑board annealing cycles. | | R2 | Insufficient downlink bandwidth for burst data. | Low | High | Dual‑band Ka‑link for burst mode; on‑board data compression (lossless). | | R3 | Launch vehicle delay. | Medium | Medium | Backup launch provider (Ariane 6) contracted; schedule float. | | R4 | Software bugs in real‑time trigger algorithm. | Low | High | Independent verification & validation; hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing. | | R5 | Space‑weather induced anomalies (charging). | Medium | Medium | Incorporate conductive coatings; frequent charge‑control monitoring. |
