Abstract
This paper introduces the preliminary design and operation of an adaptive instrument module (AIM) for space applications, which uses FPGA technology to enable in-flight hardware and software reconfiguration. An experimental AIM will be flown as a payload on the low Earth orbit satellite FedSat. The payload will be used to investigate the practicality of using reconfigurable computing technology for spacecraft applications
