NASA's Next-Gen Space Processor Enters Testing: 100x Computing Power for Moon and Mars Missions

Summary: NASA's High Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) project has reached a major milestone, with its new processor chip — small enough to fit in the palm of a hand — entering rigorous radiation, thermal, and shock testing at JPL. The chip delivers up to 100 times the computational capacity of current spaceflight computers while surviving the harsh deep-space environment, supporting future crewed missions to the Moon and Mars.
