"AITC Series - FPGAs in space!"

What the heck are FPGAs and what are they doing in space? This talk will lead you on the exciting journey of FPGAs; state-of-the-art electronic devices that are taking space missions to the next level. Not only will you learn how these devices work, but you’ll also hear how they are being applied to cutting-edge space missions and technologies including RSAA’s very own ’Emu’ 1.4 micrometer space-telescope.
