| This breakthrough in miniaturization means significant cost, weight, and power savings for current and future space vehicles and ground test facilities and should revolutionize the design of future spacecraft systems. The micro-WIS on-orbit demonstration should also increase the flexibility, reliability, and maintainability of data acquisition systems for spacecraft and lead to a reduction in vehicle turnaround time and increased reliability by eliminating cable connectors and by providing near-real-time reconfigurable data paths. |
