The scientific devices designed for each of the Outer Planets Program Focuses will likely be groundbreaking not only with respect to their scientific role but also regarding the electronics required to perform such investigations. In the past, the performance of packaged electronics was limited by the components themselves, with minimal influence of the packaging technology. The rapid development of integrated circuit technology, however, has drastically increased the importance of packaging technology in the ultimate performance of devices. If not carefully considered in the overall design, the packaging may become the limiting factor in the operation of the system. Although industry is responsible for several significant accomplishments in the field of electronics packaging, deep space/outer planet missions must take into account additional requirements such as extremely low temperatures, high radiation levels, hermetic sealing, and severe size and weight limitations. Therefore, the present investigation has been designed to meet the needs of NASA's sensor intensive outer planets program by combining (using flip chip technology) an array of devices (including analog, digital, power volt-age, passives, and MEMS) into a miniaturized heterogeneous system and utilizing optical buses to enable autonomy. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
