Center for Integrated Space Microsystems (CISM)
A world-class, leading-edge Center of Excellence for the advanced research and development of highly integrated microelectronics systems for deep space exploration


More information is available at

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)-Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)

The Center is a world-class, leading-edge NASA Center of Excellence for the advanced research and development of highly integrated microelectronics systems for deep space exploration. The scope of technologies includes optical, RF, and digital telecommunications processing; power management and distribution; data processing and storage; spacecraft command, control, and navigation; and integrated sensors technology leading to a long-term vision of a System On A Chip. Therefore, the particular emphasis of CISM is on highly integrated and autonomous, intelligent microavionics systems. The primary customer of CISM is the Deep Space Systems Program. The Center maintains a world-class, leading-edge facility for microelectronics systems design, advanced simulation, rapid prototyping, and integration and test. This facility will be electronically linked to industrial partners and collaborating universities as part of a distributed Collaborative Engineering Workbench. It also maintains a world-class, leading-edge program in Revolutionary Computing Technologies that will explore alternative non-classical models of computation that are not limited by semiconductor technology scaling. These techniques will enable long-term, highly survivable, low-energy computation in deep space.
