Objective

The overall objective of this Reliability workshop is to develop an MNT reliability and testing program with broad applicability for dealing with a diverse set of MNT systems and vendors for these systems. The proposed project will be based on a clear identification of:

  • All the end-user reliability and radiation tolerance needs,
  • Technical solutions to deal with MEMS Design For Reliability, Virtual Prototyping, Technology Analysis, Failure Analysis, Test, Qualification, and System versus Component reliability trades.

We will conduct a review of:

  • Reliability testing of microsystems from academic and industrial resources,
  • Applicable reliability standards in terms of Military Specifications and Space Applications Standards, and
  • General strategy for space qualification of MNT.

At the end of the two-day workshop, we hope to be in a position to provide answers for the following:

  • Extent of the reliability and testing market for MNT systems and a list of competitors
  • Our unique approach and the barrier to entry for competitors
  • Consortia that have to be put together for forming the proposed business.
