Space Data Recorders

Radiation-tolerant, solid-state data recorders that preserve data integrity on-orbit.

The First Commercial Radiation-Tolerant Solid-State Data Recorder

Purpose-built for space and radiation-intense environments, Mercury's solid-state data recorders are the first of their kind, leveraging the VPX form factor for agile interoperability and accelerated system design. Advanced error correction (ECC) algorithms contain high-reliability defect mitigation to combat ionizing radiation. Automatic replacement of worn NAND flash blocks and redundant NAND flash devices support long-term data integrity.

EXPLORE OUR SSDR PORTFOLIO

RH3480 SSDR

Designed in a compact 3U form factor with a blazing-fast SRIO processor, 480 GB SLC NAND flash memory and the most powerful error correction code (ECC) available, the radiation-tolerant RH3480 enables data-intensive processing and storage in applications with potential radiation exposure, including LEO satellites.

CHALLENGE

Modern space designs are introducing more complex data on increasingly smaller platforms, demanding new solutions that provide vastly more storage capacity in smaller and lighter forms and are able to operate reliably in high-radiation environments for many years.

SOLUTION

With extremely reliable, high-performance Serial RapidIO (SRIO) technology and our proprietary horizontal error correction for data integrity, Mercury's radiation-tolerant SSDRs enable on-orbit sensor data processing and storage in a 3U industry-standard VPX 48.2 form factor. The microprocessor and software-free design provide precise, long-term operation in harsh environments, whether on Earth or in space.
