DDC’s Rad-Hard high density NAND Flash memory has been selected to be integrated within the Pearl Single Board Computer (SBC), that is used as the flight computer on NASA’s BioSentinel CubeSat spacecraft. The Pearl SBC, along with DDC’s flash memory, is baselined for use on multiple upcoming missions for both NASA and the DOD.

• Proven Reliability – Hermetically sealed ceramic flat package with RAD-PAK® radiation-hardened shielding. Since DDC began providing its radiation hardened RAD-PAK components and single board computer solutions more than 20 years ago, we have experienced zero failures in space!
• Optimized Performance – High density memory solution, with up to eight 32 Gb x8 NAND flash die (256 Gb), supports higher speed designs with less capacitance and fewer I/O's to drive. Single Level Cell (SLC) technology offers fast read/write capabilities and boot times, along with excellent endurance and reliability.

DDC announces that the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), developer of the robotic servicing payload for RSGS, has chosen DDC’s SCS750® Single Board Computer (SBC) for use on the Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS) program for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

SCS750® Single Board Computer for Space, Highlights:

• Optimized performance and seamless error correction
• Proven reliability (TRL-9) for the most critical space missions
• 1 in 80 year board level SEE rate (GEO)
• TID > 100krad(Si); SEL immune
