NASA’s next-generation space processor could let Mars rovers and deep-space probes make decisions in real time without waiting for commands from Earth
Every spacecraft NASA has sent beyond low-Earth orbit over the past two decades has relied on some version of the same brain: the RAD750, a radiation-hardened processor built by BAE Systems that runs at roughly 200 MHz.
The Phoenix Mars Lander, which has a Canadian-built weather station aboard, is looking ready to make its landing on Sunday, according to NASA. Despite having nearly five million more kilometres to travel,
NASA's Artemis program aims to return humans to the moon, which is seen as a stepping stone for future missions to Mars. The upcoming Artemis II mission will be a 10-day test flight circling the moon with four astronauts. NASA plans to establish a ...
NASA is testing a next-generation space computer chip that could give spacecraft the ability to operate far more independently in deep space. The radiation-hardened processor is showing performance levels hundreds of times beyond current spaceflight computers while surviving punishing tests designed to mimic the harsh conditions of space.
