In the realm of computer technology, memory may refer to many different things. In some instances, memory may come in the form of random access memory (RAM) that allows for tasks to be carried out, or it may refer to storage devices like hard disk drives that allow for data to be retained over time. With many different definitions, it can be quite useful to have a basic understanding of less discussed forms of memory. In this blog, we will discuss cache memory in particular, that of which is a small-sized, volatile form of memory that is more temporary in nature.

When working in aerospace applications, environmental conditions vary and can often be harsh. In commercial travel alone, many parts used in aircraft must be specially designed to account for extreme changes in pressure, temperature, and other factors. This being said, military and NASA missions have even more intense standards and requirements for their allotted part types. In particular, electronics and related devices that are deployed into outer space have to meet extremely high standards due to niche issues of radiation and other factors unique to space travel. For the purpose of data collection in such environments, aerospace technology, such as that used by NASA, relies on NAND flash-based devices. For your better knowledge, this blog will take a closer look at how these devices operate and the role they play in aerospace applications.
