FPGAs are an appealing solution for space-based remote sensing applications. However, in a low-earth orbit, FPGAs are susceptible to Single-Event Upsets (SEUs). In an effort to understand the effects of SEUs, an SEU simulator based on the SLAAC-1V computing board has been developed. This simulator artifically upsets the configuration memory of an FPGA and measures its impact on FPGA designs. The accuracy of this simulation environment has been verified using ground-based radiation testing. This simulation tool is being used to characterize the reliability of SEU mitigation techniques for FPGAs.
