Introduction The Utah State University (USU) Materials Physics Group (MPG) is interested in the performanceof Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) microcontrollers in space conditions. Microcontrollers are commonlyused on CubeSats, small relatively inexpensive satellites that are flown in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) ataltitudes of ~160 km-2000 km. There is a large area of interest in COTS […]
