Space Micro Awarded Space Rad hard
DSP Contract
Enables very high
throughput on-board signal processing
SAN DIEGO, CA - March 4, 2006 - Space Micro Inc. has been selected for research and development of innovative space hardening of COTS DSP and FPGAs. This 24 month effort is being partially supported by NASA under a Phase II SBIR contract. This work will culminate with the availability of a commercially available, low power, Radiation Hardened DSP module, called Proton300k, which addresses the NASA need for survivable on board signal processing.
"We are very pleased to have the opportunity to partner with NASA Goddard to bring this technology into the solution set for satellite designers, said Mr. David Czajkowski, Product Manager at Space Micro." "We believe this program is an important step in meeting NASA's future on board signal processing requirements".
Space Micro's Radiation hardened DSP will also employ space radiation hardening techniques such as demonstrated on the Air Force Roadrunner (TacSat2) space program. Combining these technologies into lower cost space qualified standard products will allow application to virtually every satellite and space probe.
