On the probe New Horizons is the same processor of the first PlayStation

From the living room to Pluto here is how NASA has been using the chip of the first Sony console to control the spacecraft

The New Horizons spacecraft has taken pictures of Pluto is powered by the same processor of the first PlayStation launched in the nineties. The surprising news was spread by The Verge: according to the website of Technology, NASA has used the CPU MIPS R3000, one mounted on the original console from Sony and that did turn popular games such as Final Fantasy . New Horizons was launched in 2006, completed Wednesday the final part of his approach to Pluto.

The vintage processor allowed the probe to travel for nine years, go over 5 billion kilometers, giving power to the engines, monitor sensors and transmit the data.

The MIPS R3000 processor of the PlayStation was obviously modified to better withstand the space radiation, NASA – says The Verge – after several tests and simulation tests it felt better than newer technologies and perhaps unpredictable. It is not the first time that the US space agency makes such a choice: for example, the Orion spacecraft, what a day may bring us to Mars, equipped with a processor manufactured by IBM in 2002.
