This paper presents the solutions developed in the frame of the European Space Agency’s HiRel program, concluded in December 2014, where a number of techniques proposed in the past 10 years have been used to design a highly reliable system, which has been selected for forthcoming space missions. This paper presents the system architecture, describes performed evaluations, and discusses the results.ELETTRONICOenArticle10.1109/TNS.2015.24928242-s2.0-84961801785000367732600044https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/73487432015ITNS...62.2687EFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAScienze Fisiche Settori ERC (ERC) di riferimento::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_17 Instrumentation – telescopes, detectors and techniques
