- A new formal method to predict availability of space-borne programmable hardware systems was developed and validated in collaboration with ESA and Airbus. It provides a completely new capability to analyse the reliability of a circuit without the full knowledge of its internal structure. The method was implemented as an integrated set of tools, which were verified using a typical remote sensing satellite payload case-study. The high accuracy of the theoretical predictions was confirmed through proton irradiation testing. The research outcomes fill a gap in the current space qualification processes of the European Space Agency with regard to SRAM-based FPGAs (dirk.thurnes@esa.int).
