NASA is seeking a solution to the problems that ionizing radiation poses to digital electronics in space. The High-Performance Space Computer is a radiation-tolerant processor based on the RISC-V instruction set architecture. Our project is to design the motherboard for a crew laptop utilizing a RISC-V-based processor. The design will be modular so subsystems can be changed without sending a replacement laptop into space. The processor will run a Linux operating system and the laptop will be capable of utilizing a wide range of peripherals.
