@EricFielding@mastodon.social JPL did a study with Qualcomm after Mars Helicopter where they radiation tested a particular Snapdragon processor and mapped out all the questionable sections. Then they designed a board with two Snapdragons and an FPGA that compares the results of the two CPUs to ensure nothing is going awry. I wouldn't be surprised if the design is open source. I doubt that JPL itself will ever use it. I was PI on a NASA proposal at JPL, prototyping an instrument using this technology for use at Venus, to detect quakes from orbit. Got laid off a few weeks before submission and the project died. 😢
