Our project is to design a USB hub development board that demonstrates the architecture required for NASA’s Radiation Tolerant Crew Laptop. The Crew Laptop must support connectivity to at least fifteen downstream USB devices, but the system currently provides only four upstream USB interfaces. This means that integrating additional USB hubs to expand the system’s port count, manage data flow, and safely deliver power to connected devices is required. This hub prototype will validate the electrical design, power delivery behavior, and overall feasibility of the USB subsystem for the final deployment ready motherboard.
