Radiation-tolerant FPGAs for space applications from Microchip Technology achieve government QML Class V

Posted by in categories: computing, government, life extension, security

CHANDLER, Ariz. – The radiation-tolerant RTG4 field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with lead-free flip-chip bumps from Microchip Technology Inc. in Chandler, Ariz., have earned the Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) Class V status from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

These radiation-tolerant FPGAs are for critical space programs. QML Class V is the highest level of qualification for space components for human-rated, deep-space, and national security space programs.

RTG4 FPGAs offer more than 150,000 logic elements, and come in flip-chip package construction where flip-chip bumps connect the silicon die and the package substrate for extended the longevity.

AST SpaceMobile Selects Blue Origin’s New Glenn Rocket to Deliver Next-Generation BlueBird Satellites to Space

Posted by in categories: government, mobile phones, satellites

Blue Origin today announced a multi-launch agreement to deliver multiple next-generation Block 2 BlueBird satellites to low Earth orbit (LEO) on New Glenn. All launches will occur over a multi-year period from Blue Origin’s Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

AST SpaceMobile is building the first and only space-based cellular broadband network designed for both commercial and government applications. It will operate directly with everyday smartphones and allow seamless switching between terrestrial cell towers and satellite signals depending on location and coverage needs.

“New Glenn’s performance and unprecedented capacity within its seven-meter fairing enables us to deploy more of our Block 2 BlueBird satellites in orbit, helping provide continuous cellular broadband service coverage across some of the most in-demand cellular markets globally,” said Abel Avellan, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, AST SpaceMobile.

America’s Particle Physics Plan Spans the Globe — and the Cosmos

Posted by in categories: government, humor, particle physics

RALEIGH, N.C. — Particle physicist Hitoshi Murayama admits that he used to worry about being known as the “most hated man” in his field of science. But the good news is that now he can joke about it.

Last year, the Berkeley professor chaired the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel, or P5, which drew up a list of multimillion-dollar physics experiments that should move ahead over the next 10 years. The list focused on phenomena ranging from subatomic smash-ups to cosmic inflation. At the same time, the panel also had to decide which projects would have to be left behind for budgetary reasons, which could have turned Murayama into the Dr. No of physics.
