In my new OLD (Office of Logic Design) position, I am now making some of my informal e-mail lists semi-formal. These mailings will have pointers to tech tips that can [hopefully] proactively prevent errors from getting into flight designs or make things go faster and smoother. I have included an array of people from a number of number of organizations; different NASA Centers, ESA, etc., as you all may distribute to people in your own organizations and other colleagues. Please let me know if you are on this list in error or if someone should be added to it -- they can also sign up on-line. This list is targeted towards those that either will design or review space flight digital electronics. Feel free to suggest topics for discussion and research or to contribute news items. [Note for this web-based release: to become a recepient on this mailing list, please send e-mail to: richard.b.katz@nasa.gov.]
All application notes are uploaded onto my www site. New additions are noted on the what's new page. I will give these mailings from time to time; too much and they will be filtered and ignored - too little and not enough information flows. So I'll try and hit a good balance.
Best regards,
