ERC32 Products Day

The development of the ERC32, a radiation-hard SPARC V7 computing core for embedded space-flight applications is now approaching completion. The development has been carried out under ESTEC contract 9848/92/NL/FM by a consortium including SES (S) as prime, MHS (F), MMS (F), Logica (UK), TSP/Alsys (UK) and Spacebel (B). The ERC32 toolset developed under this contract includes:

The ERC32 Products Day is intended to provide potential users with detailed information regarding the features, maturity and availability of the ERC32 hardware and software products. A number of technical and commercial presentations will be held, followed by live demonstrations of the various products' operation. Opportunities for direct discussions (Q & A) with the ERC32 products manufactures will also be provided.

During the ERC32 Products Day, the ERC32 Products Evaluation Programme will be announced. This programme is intended to provide a structured framework for Industry to perform comprehensive evaluation of selected ERC32 items on a low-cost entry basis. Detailed information on the organisation and the participation requirements of the ERC32 Products Evaluation Programme will be provided during the announcement.

The ERC32 Products Day will be held on:

Tuesday, October 1, 1996 starting at 09:15 in Newton 1 conference room at ESTEC
