Rad Hard Testing of Mobile Routing
TechnologyTask 04-029
Description The objective of this task will be
to perform applicable radiation testing
(primarily SEE and TID) on COTS based mobile
routing hardware and software and to effectively
evaluate the extension of Internet-like
functionality into space. NASA GRC/CISCO (via
Space Act Agreement) has developed a HD/SW
package that would enable aero and space based
nodes to maintain virtual connectivity to a
secure Intranet. Rad hard testing will help to
determine near and long term effects of space on
this technology.
Benefits Testing will be a critical step
towards increasing the survivability and
establishing the performance characterization of
COTS products in space. Effective demonstration
of survivability and performance will enable new
science gathering and knowledge paradigms to
shift by allowing greater dissemination of
information in near-real time through the use of
space-based networks. Final Products Report
describing effects of radiation exposure(SEE -
Single Event Effects and TID - Total Ionizing
Dose) on the performance of mobile routing
hardware and software.
