Project Overview

DoomSat is a technology demonstration mission evaluating Genetic Algorithms that utilize the space radiation environment as a source of mutation driven by radiation-induced variability. The spacecraft hosts an onboard payload board developed in-house, designed to execute evolutionary computation on memory devices subject to radiation effects.

Performance is assessed via genetic algorithm and gameplay benchmarks. A measurable framework helps us understand how adaptive spacecraft learn and optimize under radiative orbital conditions.

 

Mission Goals

  • Demonstrate evolutionary computation in orbit

  • Measure adaptation driven by radiation-induced memory variation

  • Validate autonomous onboard performance improvement without continuous ground intervention

  • Establish a repeatable benchmark for adaptive computing in space

  • Advance spacecraft computing architectures for future missions
