CFD Research Corporation has been selected by NASA MSFC to build software models and tools to predict Radiation Effects on Electronics located in Space, including satellites, Space Station and other spacecraft.

As NASA seeks to deepen and expand its exploration of the solar system, returning humans to the moon and sending new science missions to Mars and beyond, the need is growing for radiation-resistant or so-called "radiation hardened" electronics that can withstand long-duration stays in the punishing environment of space.

The CFDRC effort is designed to support the Radiation Hardened Electronics for Extreme Environments project, led by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, which seeks to develop and mature a broad spectrum of radiation hardened and low-temperature electronics technologies.
