Abstract

coarse grain lockstep CubeSat Fault tolerance Forward error correction FPGA Nanosatellite partial reconfiguration Radiation Satellite SmallSat software defined fault tolerance Software fault injection Space Spaceflight System on chip Computational Theory and Mathematics Computer Science Applications Hardware and Architecture Software
In this contribution, we provide insights on the practical feasibility, effectiveness, and validation of a software-based fault-Tolerance architecture we developed for use aboard small satellites. We exploit thread-level coarse-grain lockstep to facilitate forward-error-correction and assures computational correctness on an FPGA-based MPSoC. It can be implemented using standard open-source and FPGA design tools, requires only standard COTS components, and is processor architecture and operating system agnostic.
