While FPGAs offer a number of benefits for aerospace applications, they are highly susceptible to single event effects (SEE) when exposed to high-radiation environments. These upsets can cause undesirable behaviour within the system, and potentially lead to catastrophic system failure. Students will build upon existing work to develop a novel FPGA configuration scrubber to overcome these effects using an external microcontroller.

Project Objectives
1. To design and develop a novel system architecture to detect and correct single event upsets, and to restore system operation in a failure event.
2. To provide sufficient fault protection such that an industry-rated FPGA may be used in space applications for a minimum period of 2 years (in Low Earth Orbit) without loss of functionality.
3. To provide clearly defined research outcomes which can be incorporated into the development process for future CubeSat launches.
