PASADENA, Calif. - Foremay Inc. has introduced its InterStellar series of radiation-hardened solid-state drives (SSDs) for military and commercial space applications in low-, medium-, and geosynchronous Earth orbit, as well as highly elliptical and deep-space missions.

The company says the SSDs use a graded-Z shielding architecture designed to mitigate the effects of total ionizing dose (TID), single-event effects (SEE), and other radiation-related threats encountered in space. Foremay says the architecture combines materials and shielding techniques intended to slow charged particles and capture secondary neutrons.

The InterStellar drives also incorporate Foremay's Interstellar AI-Driven Block Management (IABM) firmware, which the company says monitors bit error rates and sensor data to identify areas of elevated radiation risk and migrate mission-critical data away from affected storage regions.

Foremay says the SSDs use a radiation-hardened controller and triple modular redundancy (TMR) to provide additional protection against radiation-induced faults, including single-event latch-up. The company says the drives are designed for applications requiring long-duration operation in high-radiation environments.
