	RAD6000 Microprocessor Computer Chip (429)
		The 1997 34th Space Congress' panel of experts considered the radiation hardened RAD6000 microprocessor chip the most significant technical contribution to space of the last decade.
		The RAD6000 is onboard orbiting commercial satellites as part of Loral's Globalstar constellation.
		The RAD6000 technology was funded by the Government, making Lockheed Martin a merchant supplier and thus prohibited from holding the technology exclusive to their own systems, i.e., they must sell it to other companies on a non-discriminatory basis.

	RAD6000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The RAD6000 radiation-hardened single board computer, based on the IBM POWER CPU, is manufactured by BAE Systems and is mainly known as the onboard computer of numerous NASA spacecraft.
		Reported to have a unit cost somewhere between US$200,000 and US$300,000, RAD6000 computers were released for sale in the general commercial market in 1996.
		The RAD6000's successor is the RAD750 processor, based on Motorola/Freescale's PowerPC 750, and is used in NASA's latest Mars probe, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

	Mars Rovers Launched (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		"The RAD6000 truly is the 'brains' of the Rover and can process more than 20 million software instructions per second to perform this complex mission," he said.
		The RAD6000 was also the single control and data computer used on the successful Pathfinder mission, which landed on Mars in 1997.
		The RAD6000 is one of a family of radiation-hardened computers developed and produced by BAE SYSTEMS with the support of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Air Force Research Laboratory and other Department of Defense organizations.

	BAE SYSTEMS’ RAD6000 Pilots Stardust on Comet Collection
		The RAD6000 computer was essential for command and control of Stardust, processing key navigational data during the spacecraft’s nearly seven-year journey.
		Launched Feb. 7, 1999, Stardust was the first U.S. space mission dedicated solely to the exploration of a comet, and the first robotic mission designed to return extraterrestrial material from outside the orbit of the moon.
		The RAD6000 is one of a family of radiation-hardened protected computers developed and produced by BAE Systems with the support of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory.

	BAE Systems Microprocessor Guides Swift Mission
		Most recently, the RAD6000 computers were installed on each of the still-broadcasting Mars Rovers - the only control and data computers aboard the two Rovers - to execute flight, landing and exploration operations on Mars.
		The RAD6000 was also the single control and data computer used on the successful Pathfinder mission that landed on Mars in 1997.

	Thinking on Mars: The Brains of NASA's Red Planet Rovers
		At the nerve center of each MER rover is a 6-by 9-inch electronics board containing one computer responsible for every process that goes into a mission, whether it be monitoring spacecraft health in transit, deploying parachutes during landing or roving about the red planet.
		The computer, called a RAD6000, is a tried and true component for NASA space mission that has formed the brains of past Mars missions in the, as well as the recent Stardust comet encounter.
		RAD6000 microprocessors are radiation-hardened versions of the PowerPC chips that powered Macintosh computers in the early 1990s, with 128 megabytes of random access memory (RAM) and capable of carrying out about 20 million instructions per second.

	Software on Mars rovers 'space qualified'
		At the heart of each Mars rover is a computer on a single board called the RAD6000.
		The chip was designed in the early 1990s by International Business Machines Corp., when the BAE unit was part of IBM's Federal Systems Co. The IBM division, working with the Air Force Research Lab, developed the radiation-hardened version.
		Another sign that the RAD6000 is not meant for home computers: Each costs between $200,000 and $300,000.
