Mike T.

Mike Tostanoski is the founder of RTS and has overseen the building of a team of 30+ people to provide radiation testing services to both the government and commercial defense and aerospace markets. Mike started RTS because of the perceived need for an agile radiation test organization providing expertise to large and small corporations in need of both turnkey radiation testing and short-term test expertise.
Mike is a recognized expert in the testing of electronic components, boards and subsystems in space and other radiation environments. He

also has designed and built both hardware and software used regularly in the testing performed at RTS. Mike has 40 years of experience in radiation system analysis and testing. He holds a Master of Science and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado. He is a member of IEEE and an active member of the Hardened Electronics and Radiation Technology (HEART) Society, having served in multiple roles, including as a member of the Executive Steering Committee and as the General Chair in 2010.

John B.

After spending nearly 15 years working for large aerospace firms and being responsible for the survivability and radiation assurance of more than 100 spacecraft and instruments in a variety of orbits, John recognized the need to have a center of excellence for radiation effects that was not limited to a single company, but rather a resource for the entire community. To this end, John became RTS’s second full-time employee and now heads a team of experts that are focused on:
  • Natural radiation environment definition and modeling
  • Radiation transport through shielding materials
Team Leader, John Bird
  • Radiation degradation in materials, optics (including coatings) and electronics
  • Surface and internal charging analysis and modeling
  • Device, circuit and system-level single event effects analysis and mitigation
  • Materials and electronics radiation testing for both cumulative and transient degradation
