LabOSat is an electronic instrumentation board aimed to work at hazardous environments, with the main objective of performing thetesting and validation of both custom and commercial devices [1]. The first version of LabOSat is presently being tested on board of a smallsatellite BugSat-1 [2] at a Low Earth Orbit since May-2014, standing 1.2 krads at a 480 rad/yr rate as recorded by solid state dosimeters.The system is still successfully working. Another two LabOSat platforms were launched by June-2016 and are also providing data on theirperformance. In this work we describe further experiments in which the performance of LabOSat is tested under mixed field gamma andthermal/epithermal neutron.
