NASA Office of Logic Design

A scientific study of the problems of digital engineering for space flight systems,
with a view to their practical solution.


2004 MAPLD Technical Program

Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center
Washington, D.C.

September 8-10, 2004

Session L: Birds of a Feather:
Mitigation Methods for Reprogrammable Logic
in the Space Radiation Environment

Ken LaBel, NASA Goddard Space Flight CenterMike Wirthlin, Brigham Young University
Session Chairs:
Ken LaBel, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Mike Wirthlin, Brigham Young University

Session F will feature a lively discussion about mitigation methods for the application of reprogrammable devices in the space radiation environment.  The trade space of complexity, circuit impacts, verification, overhead in resources such as space and power, etc. versus effectiveness will be examined and discussed.
