Radiation Protection Made Easy

1

Detect

Automatically detects faults caused by single event effects (SEEs)

2

Recover

Redundant computing cores and patented recovery algorithms abstracted from the user allow developers to treat the RadPC SBC as a traditional embedded computer

3

Repair

FPGA implementation allows RadPC to use background partial reconfiguration to restore the computer to a healthy state

Suborbital Testing Puts Moon-Bound Computing System Through its Paces

On July 28 and September 22, 2021, researchers from Montana State University (MSU) launched a radiation-tolerant computing system called RadPC on a high-altitude balloon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota from Raven Aerostar. Over the course of the two flights the balloon reached altitudes up to 75,000 feet and provided a total of over 80 hours of flight time, enabling researchers to test the computing technology against more than 3,000 injected system faults; the RadPC recovered from all of them successfully.
