The Non NASA commercial market also requires massively dense next generation radiation hardened memory devices to drive future growth and expansion of features in existing commercial communication and imaging satellites, as well as commercial space launch systems. DOD Applications include radiation hardened devices for space-based surveillance platforms, launch vehicles and MDA BMDS miniature kill vehicles; integrated sensor systems for imaging sensors used for automatic object identification and target recognition; friend or foe identification; and theater threat assessment. The NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Radiation Hardened Electronics for Space Environments (RHESE) program primary customers are the multiple mission elements of NASA's Constellation Program, including the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle, the Earth Departure Stage of the Ares V launch vehicle, the Altair Lunar Lander project, Lunar Surface Systems elements, and Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) elements. Secondary customers for RHESE technologies include NASA science missions.
