Onboard computers are critical to space exploration, aiding nearly every spacecraft function from propulsion and navigation systems to life support technology, science data retrieval and analysis, communications,

NASA is advancing its space exploration capabilities by testing a new solution for radiation-tolerant computing, as detailed in an article on MSN. The initiative involves the development of a chip called the High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) processor, designed to withstand the harsh radiation environment of space. This chip, developed in collaboration with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, aims to provide the computational power needed for complex missions, including those to the Moon and Mars. The HPSC processor will be tested in space to ensure it can handle the radiation levels without compromising performance, which is crucial for long-duration space flights where traditional computing systems might fail due to radiation damage. This project not only enhances the reliability of space missions but also supports NASA's broader goals of sustainable exploration and scientific discovery in space.
