Our radiation-hardened electronics are operating aboard more than 300 satellites today, and power key national space assets such as Juno and InSight, that are discovering previously unknown details of deep space, said Ricardo Gonzalez, director of Space Systems at BAE Systems. - BAE Systems single board computers provide next-generation spacecraft with the high-performance onboard processing capability needed to support space missions for civil, commercial, and national security customers.
- BAE Systems radiation-hardened electronics are produced at the companys facility in Manassas, Virginia, which is a U.S. Department of Defense Category 1A Microelectronics Trusted Source.
