Mass Storage Device Developed for Application in the Space Station
Data storage devices each providing 260 MB non-volatile random access memory will be used in the Data Management Systems of the Russian and the European Modules of the Space Station. The National Aerospace Laboratory NLR, and Signal Special Products have jointly developed these Mass Storage Devices (MSD) based on commercial winchester disks. For increased reliability, these MSDs contain two separate disk cartridges with identical data contents. An intelligent latch-up protection system has been incorporated to safeguard the drives against destruction due to radiation effects. This protection mechanism has been validated by tests in a proton beam facility.
