Avalanche Technology, a leader in next-generation MRAM technology, announced that its Space Grade solutions will be deployed in unmanned rovers and deep space autonomous exploration platforms engineered by Aitech. Avalanche's high-density MRAM is designed to meet the essential criteria for space missions, providing radiation immunity, permanent data retention, unlimited endurance, instant data commitment, and proven space heritage.

Why it matters

Unmanned space assets are highly vulnerable to system failures due to radiation effects, requiring extensive redundancy and error-correction mechanisms that add complexity, weight, and power consumption. Avalanche's Space Grade MRAM eliminates these issues, enabling a dramatically simplified architecture with reduced size, weight, and power while enhancing reliability in the harsh environments of space exploration.

The details

Avalanche's Space Grade MRAM delivers on five key criteria for space-worthy technology: surviving radiation without disruption, retaining data for the life of a mission, enduring unlimited writes, committing data instantly, and proving real space heritage. This allows Avalanche's MRAM to power adaptive, autonomous platforms that can adjust to evolving mission objectives and navigate hazardous terrain without intervention from mission control.
