Our project is to design a Radiation-Tolerant Crew Laptop for astronauts to utilize in space. We’re designing a controller to connect a radiation-tolerant processor, the High-Performance Spaceflight Computing processor from MicroChip, to the open-source Framework Laptop. The controller expands hardware options by connecting multiple USB ports to the radiation-tolerant processor enabling the interfacing of the Framework laptop with the processor. Laptops have and will continue to be used on NASA’s new lunar space station — Gateway and our design will enable the support of operational tasks, scientific research, and real-time decision-making in space, thereby reducing downtime and increasing overall mission efficiency.
