Abstract

Abstract—An extensive survey of logic and memory component manufacturers conducted by the NASA Electronic Research Center and the industry has resulted in estimates of the state-of-the-art of components available to designers of on-board guidance and control computers for long-term deep-space missions for the 1970-72 period. The vehicle for the survey were the mission requirements for the synchronous satellite, lunar orbiter, Mars orbiter, and Jupiter fly-by solar probe missions.
