The Space Environment Testbed (SET) is a complementary element of NASA's new Living With a Star (LWS) Program. This program is designed to help humankind understand and successfully exist with the Sun and its variability throughout the solar cycle. The SET element is a series of flight testbeds focused on this variability and its effects on space system technology, as well as crew safety. In particular, the SET aims to improve the engineering approach and/or mitigate the effects of solar variability on spacecraft design and operations. The SET encompasses a series of flight testbeds with collateral environment measurements. The SET supports incorporation of the results from experiments and environment measurements (both on SET flight testbeds and elsewhere) into improved application models.
