A High-Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) processor is being developed by Microchip Technology that NASA says will provide 100 times more computing power than current space computers.
Currently, NASA's spaceflight computers have been developed nearly 30 years ago, according to Wesley Powell, NASA's principal technologist for advanced avionics, and 'Future NASA missions will require significant improvements in the onboard computing capabilities and reliability'.
A Chandler, Arizona-based company, Microchip Technology has been manufacturing microcontrollers, analog, mixed-signal, and Flash-IP integrated circuits for more than three decades.
As part of its mission to conduct lunar and planetary exploration missions in the near future, A Microchip will work on the development and delivery of the HPSC processor over the next three years.
In order to complete the project, Microchip will contribute significant research and development costs under a $50 million firm-fixed-price contract.
Using Microchip's new processor architecture, processing power can be turned on and off based on operational requirements, allowing certain processing functions to be turned off when not needed, which reduces power consumption.
The capability will save large amounts of energy and improve the efficiency of computer computations in space missions, according to NASA. As well as having applications on earth, the new processor could also be used in space.
Using the new technology, NASA says, may also be beneficial to commercial systems on Earth that have similar mission-critical edge computing needs, and must be able to continue operating safely even if one component fails.
In addition to industrial automation, time-sensitive ethernet data transmission, artificial intelligence, and even Internet of Things gateways, which bridge various communication technologies, there are apparently numerous potential applications for this technology.
With the introduction of Azure Quantum, NASA hopes to reduce the time it takes to transmit instructions from spacecraft to just a few minutes, as part of a project to reduce the time it takes to transmit instructions between spacecraft from hours to just a few minutes.
