Micro has released its first single-layer storage unit (SLC) NAND flash memory system that has been approved through aerospace level verification and has become the starting point for its aerospace memory product line, and has started to set up an aerospace engineering experiment room to target the space product market.
Micron Technology, a large memory manufacturer, is aerospace-level NAND flash memory with a single chip capacity of 256Gb. It is currently the most dense space NAND product on the market, through NASA and the key verification tests required by US military regulations, including temperature aging resistance, total electrostatic dose (TID) and single event effect (SEE), which prove that it can operate stably for a long time in high radiation and extreme environments, meeting the high standards of component reliability for space missions. .
In recent years, as governments and private enterprises have actively expanded space missions, low-distance satellites and space platforms have increasingly relied on AI computing capabilities, especially edge computing technology, allowing spacecraft to analyze sensing data in real time, detect abnormalities and make automatic decisions, which not only improves mission efficiency, but also saves communication frequency wide and ground return burdens, and thus also drives up memory demand.
Micro High-level pointed out that although applications are still mainly based on automatic navigation, as AI expands to real-time analysis and autonomous detection, future tasks will rely more on memory solutions with high potential and intelligent processing capabilities to enhance space-side computing efficiency.
In addition to NAND, Micron also intends to continue to expand its aerospace memory products, covering NOR, DDR3 and long-term DDR4/LPDDR4 series, and invest in the expansion of the factory in Manassas, Virginia to enhance the production capabilities of space applications. It also has a technical support team and engineering experiment room specially designed for the aerospace field, hoping to take the lead in the space economic market.
