Good writeup! In general, the direction in modern aerospace is to use COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) parts with redundancy and failback for radiation hardening.
If you’re into this sort of thing, I co-write a weekly newsletter about the space industry and often talk about software. https://orbitalindex.com https://orbitalindex.com
- sq_ 6y agoThank you so much for the Orbital Index! I've been subscribed for a while now, and I look forward to it every week. Great content!
- junon 6y agoSounds neat, first newsletter I've voluntarily subscribed to since I was a child. Looking forward to the next issue.
- yasoob 6y agoI just went through the last issue and enjoyed it quite a lot. Good stuff :)
- ThisIsTheWay 6y agoJust FYI but OI has become a great resource for me and my team to maintain situational awareness on what's going on in the industry. Thanks for all you do!
- Symmetry 6y agoI'd worry that the COTS approach might be fine for dealing with cosmic rays within the Van Allen belt but it might not be sufficient to deal with the solar wind if you're going to GEO or Mars.
