Spaceflight represents the cutting edge of technology. However, the computers used in spacecraft are often fairly primitive, sometimes a generation or two behind the latest models on earth. This is because any computer sent into space has to go through a hardening process.

Fernandez, the mission’s co-principal investigator for software and HPC technology officer.
