Abstract
Spacecraft capability is driven by payload performance, and this in turn
is driven by electronics technology. The first satellite in 1957 was
built around a simple MHz radio transmitter. Today’s satellites use some
of the world’s most advanced electronics to achieve their missions. We
present here an overview of the current performance, technical
requirements, and future challenges for spacecraft electronics.
