Abstract :
Superconductivity is an emerging technology for high performance electronics. It offers unique and beneficial attributes for sensor, signal processing, and communication systems. Yet, industry faces technical hurdles and market obstacles to identifying business targets. The author presents his vision of the future of superconductor electronics in space, his perspective of the past, and his approach for achieving success. The ability to define and achieve successful paths which overcome the technical and market barriers will determine the viability of superconductivity in the electronics industry, and coincidentally of applied research in this technology.
