NASA has partnered with Microchip Technology to develop advanced System-on-a-Chip (SoC) processors for spaceflight, aiming for 100 times the computing power of current offerings. These chips will be radiation-hardened for deep-space missions to the Moon and Mars, and radiation-tolerant for Earth orbit satellites. The project, High-Performance Spaceflight Computing, also anticipates Earth-bound applications in areas like AI and medical equipment, leveraging the reliability and scalability developed for space.
