The Solar Anomalous Magnetosphere Particle Explorer (SAMPEX) is the first in a series of Small Explorer spacecraft being managed by GSFC. In order to meet mission constraints of power, weight, and volume, newer enabling technologies were utilized. These include a Solid State Recorder/SSR (a RAM-based array of memory utilized for storing science and engineering telemetry on-board the spacecraft), the SEDS MIL-STD-1773 Fiber Optic Data Bus (the first utilization of a fiber optic data bus as an in-line spacecraft subsystem), the Intel 80386 microprocessor family (currently a candidate or baseline for XTE, TRMM, portions of EOS-AM, Space Station, et al...), surface mount technology, etc...
Have a look
at the paper Single Event Effect Flight Data
Analysis of Multiple NASA Spacecraft and Experiments; Implications to
Spacecraft Electrical Designs by C.M. Seidleck, K.A. LaBel, et. al. It
investigates in-flight SEEs observed on SAMPEX, CRUX, and TOMS.
Flight data available:
SEDS
MIL-STD-1773 Fiber Optic Data Bus:
Unsuccessful bus transmissions are automatically retried & recorded
Hitachi
256 kbit SRAMs:
Error
Detection and Correction (EDAC) detects & records single and double
bit errors
Data is
available as a Mercator Projection, and as daily error counts:

SAMPEX data is
currently available for the following dates:
1993: April 8
through September 14 1994: May 4
through September 25 1995: February 10
through March 25 To have a look
