The study explores how space exploration can be advanced by the use of the commercial off-the-shelf computer systems. Spaceborne Computer-2 further tests additional techniques for recovering or mitigating errors in the extreme environment of unprotected solar radiation, galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) and other events.
