The authors will describe the drivers for the subsystem requirements in the Europa Orbiter mission, in particular the mission criticality of the IMU and the predicted natural space radiation environments that require enabling technologies to be identified. Descriptions of the Europa IMU and the HRG technology are given with emphasis on the inherent radiation hardness in the HRG principle of operation and sensor construction, as well as the steps taken to further harden the sensor electronics.
