Abstract
The Microelectronics and Photonics Testbed (MPTB) is a scientific satellite carrying twenty-four experiments on-board in a high radiation orbit since November 1997. The first objective of this paper is to summarize one year flight results, telemetred from one of its experiments, a digital “neural board” programmed to perform texture analysis by means of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). One of the attractive features of MPTB neural board is its possibility of re-programmation from the earth. The second objective of this paper is to present two new ANN architectures, devoted to radar or sonar detection, intended to be telecommanded on the MPTB neural board. Their characteristics (performances and potential robustness with respect to parameter deviations due to the interaction with charged particles) are compared in order to predict their behavior under radiation.
