Game Changing Development
High Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC)
Project Introduction
Space-based computing has not kept up with the needs of current and future NASA missions. We are developing a next-generation flight computing system that addresses NASA computational performance, energy management and fault tolerance needs, through 2030.

Anticipated Benefits
HPSC, as a highly cross-cutting technology, is relevant to all future NASA SMD and HEOMD missions. HPSC is a federal-level investment, involving multiple government agencies, and also participating in space commercialization.USAF is a programmatic partner to develop and infuse HPSC. This includes Air Force Research Lab, AFRL/RV, Kirtland AFB, Albuquerque, NM, and Space Missile Command, SMC/RS, LA AFB, Los Angeles. ;SBCs
