Workshop Overview

The objective of this Advanced Technology Workshop (ATW) is to have a unique technical forum that brings together industrialists, scientists, engineers, space agencies and academia who have been working in the area of advanced electronic package reliability and electronic device reliability in extreme cold to hot temperature environments. Studies in extreme thermal and radiation environments are extended beyond nominal operating temperature regimes and radiation levels. Validation of the electronic packages assembled with various electronic parts over a wide temperature range to infuse into future space missions is of significant value for space applications. The other goal of this ATW is to expedite the infusion of cutting-edge technology into present and future NASA projects, missions, and science instruments. This ATW is partially providing the mechanism to create an international network of electronics developers and systems designers by bringing together representatives from academia and the space agencies. This Workshop covers active and passive devices, circuits/systems, advanced packaging, instruments, and reliability under extreme cold to hot temperatures and radiation environments. This is the second workshop in a series that is being organized in the USA since there is a significant interest for NASA and other space agencies in missions to Mars, the Moon, Deep Space Missions and beyond.
