Objective
Ensuring Europe’s strategic autonomy in space is vital in the current geopolitical context. MNEMOSYNE 2 directly contributes to this goal by delivering a European, radiation-hardened, high-density non-volatile memory (NVM) with at least 1024 Mbit capacity, a key enabler for next-generation space missions. Building on the H2020 MNEMOSYNE project, 3D PLUS, IMEC, University of Padova and NanoXplore will industrialize and qualify a first-of-its-kind flight-ready memory component based on the 22 nm FD-SOI STT-MRAM process, developed entirely in the EU. By reaching TRL 8 and moving to production-grade manufacturing, the project ensures that Europe possesses its own independent and resilient supply of critical space memory.The device will provide secure, ITAR-free, high-performance memory for mission-critical functions such as FPGA configuration, processor boot, and data storage. With outstanding radiation tolerance (TID >100 krad(Si), SEL LET >85 MeV·cm²/mg), low power, long data retention, and extended temperature range (–55 °C to +125 °C), it will outperform traditional NOR Flash. Full compatibility with NanoXplore FPGA platforms (NG-ULTRA, ULTRA 7) guarantees seamless integration into European space systems.MNEMOSYNE 2 introduces a leap in capacity through 3D PLUS stacking technology, enabling scalable densities without compromising reliability. A strict no–pure-tin policy further enhances robustness, setting a benchmark for space-grade components. The project consolidates a fully European supply chain, eliminating reliance on non-European sources and reinforcing resilience against disruptions.By aligning with the EU Chips Act, Secure Connectivity, Copernicus, and Galileo, MNEMOSYNE 2 strengthens Europe’s leadership in secure, sovereign space technologies. Its outcome will empower future space infrastructures, enhance competitiveness, and safeguard Europe’s strategic independence in space electronics.
