Problem
Small satellites operating in space are vulnerable to radiation-induced faults, known as single event effects (SEEs), which can disrupt onboard computer systems and compromise mission objectives. Traditional radiation-hardening techniques add significant weight, cost, and complexity, especially for small satellite missions with constrained budgets and tight schedules.
Solution
Resilient Computing offers fault-tolerant computer architectures designed to withstand the harsh radiation environment of space, ensuring reliable operation for small satellite missions. Their RadPC system utilizes FPGA technology and patented recovery algorithms to automatically detect, recover from, and repair faults caused by SEEs. By implementing redundant computing cores and background partial reconfiguration, the RadPC abstracts fault management from the user, allowing developers to treat the system as a traditional embedded computer.
Target Audience
The primary customers are developers and operators of small satellites who require reliable computing systems capable of withstanding the radiation environment of space.
