Designing A Single Board Computer For Space Using The Most Advanced Processor and Mitigation Technologies

As high-end computing becomes more of a necessity in space, there currently exists a large gap between what is available to satellite manufacturers and the state of the commercial processor industry. As a result, Maxwell Technologies has developed a Super Computer for Space that utilizes a combination of the latest commercial Silicon-on-Insulator PowerPC processors, state-of-the-art memory modules and radiation tolerant FPGA's to achieve space-qualified performance that is from 10 to 1000 times that of current technology.
