make in fostering the economic prosperity and

well-being of our nation and its people.”

Market Approach

"Industry networking is vital to success in

this [U.S.] market, ……. firms must be

available to meet clients and potential

partners on a daily basis to reduce the

asymmetry of market information, decrease

incumbent competitive advantages, and

compete purely on the value of their

products or services,"

JPL - Remote Exploration and Experimentation (REE) project:

• The REE project aims at moving commercial scalable supercomputing technology into space applications, in a form that meets the demanding environmental requirements.

• Due to price, weight and power constraints, the computers delivering the high processing capability cannot have redundant systems. This raises concerns about the correctness of the results because of data corruption caused by cosmic rays.

• Xception technology is considered the best tool to test these systems. The Xception technology allows the REE project’s developed systems to be thoroughly tested and refined before deployment.

Market Approach – Developing Technologies

Established Critical Software in the aerospace

development field.

Established the Xception technology in the

aerospace field through the exposure and

the credibility JPL brought to the

technology.

Established Critical Software in the European

Space Agency (ESA). In 2000, the

company joined a consortium that won a

contract on software dependability.
