Summary Proposal Objective to demonstrate the value of the remote re-configurability off Gas to space computing. To develop and test SED-tolerant space-based computer architectures using COTS FPGAs to demonstrate the feasibility of using various types of redundancy and coding techniques to correct data and configuration errors in important satellite subsystems such as Software Defined Radios (SDR). To build and fly a Configurable Fault Tolerant mission computer on NPSAT and on a satellite in a high-radiation orbit. To continue to operate the existing CFTP on MidSTAR-1. To test the CFTP concepts in a ground-based radiation facility.
