Sponsor: NASA
Advisor: Brock LaMeres
Spring 2010

Purpose:
This design consists of three different systems that will be integrated together. The first part of this project consists of designing a system that will integrate a radiation sensor with detection electronics onto a printed circuit board. The second part of the design will include designing a communication block to allow the sensor to pass inforamtion to an FPGA-based computing system. The final part of this design will consist of a Graphical User Interface that will be developed in order to show the location of the radiation strike in real-time on a computer display as the sensor is struck with radiation.
