Research & Development

COSMIAC promotes innovation in space microsystems through its research and development efforts that are designed to lead to greater insight into how space microsystems support new space capabilities as well as to hasten the demonstration and commercialization of key new microsystem-based solutions for use by space system developers.

COSMIAC's R&D programs span each level of the space system hierarchy including:

complete, compact spacecraft to enhance GPS accuracy and reliability in the space environment for improved weather monitoring and prediction;
responsive new architectures, interfaces, and systems engineering tools that can be used to quickly compile and integrate new spacecraft designs and functions;
advanced modules and components that support essential bus and payload operations; and
new design and verification tools that provide enhanced robustness for new FPGA designs that permit the latest FPGA fabrics and capabilities to be harnessed by the space community.
