The risk of failure for avionics equipment on-board spacecraft due to radiation exposure is a critical issue for launchers, re-entry vehicles, space habitats and satellites

Introducing the Smart Backplane subsystem (KAM/CSB/12U), a rugged multi-slot chassis designed specifically for data acquisition, data processing, and recording in radiation-intensive space environments.

Smart Backplane is the Space Industry’s first rugged COTS-based chassis qualified for reliable data acquisition in space radiation environments.

New KAD/ADC/128 Microgravity Accelerometer Module delivers the performance of costly custom solutions at a fraction of the price.

Curtiss-Wright will provide its Smart Backplane radiation tolerant COTS electronics data acquisition technology.

We look at the updated FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC+) specification that has been developed and refined over the past year, promising unparalleled I/O density and backward compatibility.

What's the buzz about the new FMC+ standard which has targeted key new technology standards?
