Immersive Environments for Science Operations/Outreach • Entry, Descent & Landing — Algorithms for reliable and safe landing in hazardous terrain (Terrain Relative Navigation/Hazard Detection & Avoidance), benchmarked by Mars Program as requiring six RAD750s, can be performed easily on one multicore processor • Small Body Proximity Operations — Similar real-time GN&C requirements, 5X less than EDL, but well beyond a RAD750 • Onboard Data Product Generation — Decrease downlink requirements for high data rate instruments by several orders of magnitude • Science Event Detection and Response — Increase capture for dynamic, transient events from ~10% to ~75%, with <5% false positives, for increased and more timely science return
