Mar 2, 2021 · The RAD750 comes in two versions: "rad-tolerant" and "rad-hardened". According to a quote in this question, InSight used the rad-hardened version. BAE (the manufacturer of the RAD750) says very little about how their products are radiation-hardened, but does like to tout that they are hardened. Confirmed differences:

Mar 5, 2021 · Radiation hardened CPUs like RAD750 are radiation hardened for up to 1000 gray. Cool. But, as CPUs have advanced way ahead their mechanical counterparts in miniaturization and fragility, energy dissipation and costs per kg to orbit have lowered, wouldn't just a simple lead shield start being more economic?.

Jul 15, 2022 · What kind of software, operating system, database, processor, architecture, antenna used for communication back to Earth, basically what computer does it use.

Sep 10, 2022 · Just stumbled across RAD750s successor, the RAD5500. Are there already spacecraft using this Chip, or are there plans for this chip? Looks pretty new!

The RAD750 is a radiation-hardened single board computer manufactured by BAE Systems Electronics, Intelligence & Support. [1] The successor of the RAD6000, the RAD750 is for use in high radiation environments experienced on board satellites and spacecraft. [2] The RAD750 was released in 2001, with the first units launched into space in 2005. [1 ...

Dec 28, 2023 · Is known which Computers Europa Clipper will be using? I'm guessing it will be RAD750 again, but I couldn't find any official sources. Thanks for the help

The processing power in current exploration rovers like the MER's RAD6000 (20Mhz) and Curiosity's RAD750 (200Mhz) is far below anything you would find in any mobile phone today. As far as I understand this is mainly due to the radiation hardening and possibly temperature ranges.

Feb 17, 2015 · The RAD750 will be packaged in a Ceramic Column Grid Array (CGA) package, constructed by attaching extended columns to the original Ball Grid Array (BGA) 360 pin package employed for the 0.25 micron PowerPC 750.

What makes Insight's RAD750 processor so radiation resistant? (compared to 1998 iMac's PowerPC 750)

In the section about Orbit and Environment the Wikipedia article about the Juno spacecraft says: In comparison, Juno will receive much lower levels of radiation than the Galileo orbiter at its
