This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by NASA to Advanced Materials Applications, LLC (AMA) for the development of the Resilient Affordable Computing Platform (RACP), a power-efficient high-performance space computer design for low-Earth orbit (LEO) missions. The $124,188 fixed-price contract is focused on a hybrid design that combines ARM system-on-chip processors, a non-radiation-hardened FPGA, and a radiation-tolerant microcontroller to deliver fault tolerance, data integrity, and scalable performance. The RACP is intended to support multiple sensor platforms with a focus on data processing, and it will use a Linux operating system to enable the use of standard open-source software tools. The contract includes radiation testing to ensure reliable operation in LEO remote sensing missions.
