Space-based electronics are critical components of the satellites that help us maintain
our national defense advantage, and the rise of sensor technology that can gather
extreme amounts of data is creating an opportunity to secure this advantage long
term. Accomplishing this goal will require space microelectronics that can properly collect,
store, process, interpret, and transmit a large amount of information—all while overcoming
environmental conditions such as intense electromagnetic radiation and size, weight, and power
(SWaP) limitations. This white paper discusses these challenges and explores how commercial
technology companies and the aerospace and defense industry are merging their expertise and
innovations to help the government organizations meet this moment.
