Lowering the Cost of Spacecraft Avionics with Radiation-Tolerant COTS Electronics
The risk of failure for avionics equipment on-board spacecraft due to radiation exposure is a critical issue for launchers, re-entry vehicles, space habitats and satellites
Curtiss-Wright Lowers Space Flight Cost, Speeds Up Development Time and Reduces Risk
Introducing the Smart Backplane subsystem (KAM/CSB/12U), a rugged multi-slot chassis designed specifically for data acquisition, data processing, and recording in radiation-intensive space environments.
To build equipment that can handle the challenges of rugged environments, engineers need to make the right design decisions for their components, chassis, and software. Here's how to get the job done.
