What experiment? And is it flying on Dragon out of curiosity?

• jzawodn 13y ago
  It's going to be testing 4 Gumstix modules on the external NanoRack platform. Here's the grant announcement: http://www.iss-casis.org/NewsEvents/PressReleases/tabid/111/ArticleID/61/ArtMID/586/CASIS-Announces-Grant-Awards-for-Materials-Science.aspx http://www.iss-casis.org/NewsEvents/PressReleases/tabid/111/... And, yes, I believe it'll be flying on Dragon.

    Cool! We'll do our best to get it there safely. :)

  Do you have to use radiation hardened components, shielding, and a multi-core compute and vote kind of system?
  • jzawodn 13y ago
    The watchdog circuit is built using radiation hard components, but aside from maybe light shielding on the micro SDCards we'll be flying the modules as-is. The goal is to characterize them in that environment and determine failure rates to see if it's reasonable to then build a fault-tolerant system (using voting, as you suggest) later on.

      Very cool, thanks. I'm envious of your assignment.
