Imaging from space delivers many details of Earth, with increasing clarity every year. Satellite designers need data storage to capture these images and this storage needs to provide vastly more capacity while being smaller, lighter and able to operate reliably for years in a high-radiation environment. Learn about space design considerations, radiation hardering and how Mercury's data storage recorders with NAND flash advance the latest imaging missions in space
Read this white paper to learn:
- Data requirements for new satellites and space payloads
- How cosmic radiation impact electronics and storage devices
- Mercury's NAND flash implementation to survive space
- Mercury's space data storage device features and benefits
- Other applications that need radiation hardening
- Data storage roadmap for deep space exploration
