Description

We present different use case of FPGA in science projects at IRAP ( Institut de recherche en astrophysique et planétologie ) :

  • SVOM/Eclairs : a satellite for gamma-ray burst observation
  • DORN : an instrument for the measurement of Radon on the moon
  • Litebird : an international project to measure the cosmic microwave background
    polarization

For each case, the scientific context and the development constraints will be described and we will explain the reasons that led to the technical choices. We will give a feedback on development process, describing methodology and tools.

This prevention will give an overview of FPGA usage in instruments themself but also during development.
