SpaceCube_14
Space cube installed on Space Station.
Spacewalker Randy Bresnik completed installation of the MISSE 7 experiment on Express Logistics Carrier 2 on the International Space Station. Goddard participated in three of the MISSE7 experiments. They are: SpaceCube, HyperX, and Tilera. This is the latest in a series of Naval Research Laboratory experiments that expose materials and composite samples to space for several months before they are returned for experts to analyze. This could lead to stronger spacecraft materials and applications on Earth, and advanced on-board computing capabilities for future NASA missions
SpaceCube is a next-generation computer system developed at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. The potentially revolutionary computer system, which provides up to 25 times the processing power of a typical flight processor, will be testing special software techniques that would make the computer more immune to upsets that happen when radioactive particles affect the computer. The SpaceCube was demonstrated during the Hubble Servicing Mission earlier this year.
