Research abstract
TAPE RECORDERS PRESENTLY USED AS SPACEBORNE MASS STORAGE DEVICES HAVE A HISTORY OF BEING UNRELIABLE AND REQUIRE EXTENSIVE AND COSTLY GROUND TESTING TO PROVIDE THE CONFIDENCE NECESSARY TO PASS LAUNCH READINESS. EVEN THEN THEY DO NOT ALWAYS ADEQUATELY PERFORM THEIR FUNCTION ON ORBIT. THE OBJECTIE OF THIS PHASE I PROGRAM IS TO DEVELOP A BUBBLE MEMORY MODULE WHICH CAN BE USED AS A BUILDING BLOCKFOR THE ASSEMBLY OF SPACEBORNE RECORDERS THAT CAN REPLACE TAPE RECORDERS. CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS WILL BE DEVELOPED FOR MEMORY MODULES COMPOSED OF ONE TO EIGHT MAGNETIC BUBBLE UNITS. THE CONCEPT WHICH BEST SATISFIES THE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS WILL BE BREADBOARDED AND TESTED USING THE INTEL 4 MEGABIT MAGNETIC BUBBLE.
