A brief history of NASA robotic spacecraft computing architectures is given. Changing needs driving changes in features (10x reduction in cost, various increases in capability, 10x to 100x reduction in power, mass and volume) for spacecraft computing are discussed. A scaleable, parallel/neural computing architecture which addresses these changes is proposed. Evaluation of some of this architecture's components is detailed. Finally, future directions of exploration for this spacecraft computing architecture are considered.
