Earthbound recording systems come in many sizes and use
various mediums on which to record the data. The harsh
environment of space, however, introduces some unique problems.
This limits the number of choices not only for the
type of system but also for the optimum recording medium.
How changes in temperature, radiation, lack of air, etc. ,
affect the performance of the device as a whole must all be
considered.
Magnetic bubble memory technology implemented in a solid
state recorder is a possible solution. Included in this
thesis is a description of the development and history of
the magnetic bubble memory, along with a comparison to other
technologies. The design and implementation of a digital
data recorder using off-the-shelf four-megabit devices is
presented. A schematic of the data recorder and software
used is included in the appendices.
