Research abstract
Space Micro, teamed with Redefine Technologies, proposes to develop a low power avionics suite of cards, called Proton XBox, to support DoD smallsat, nanosat, and even potentially Cubesat missions. This card suite can also be integrated into the TREADS space platform being developed by Redefine as a space test platform for demonstrating and qualifying new technologies. BENEFIT: DoD will immediately benefit from having an entire avionics suite in small form factor and with radiation tolerance for ORS type missions. This hardware can then migrate to larger national space programs such as AEHF, MILSATCOM, and GPS follow ons, plus evolutions of TSAT such as LTD. Both NASA and commercial space imaging and telcom platforms may also benefit and use this lower cost rad hard space electroncis.
