The field of nanosatellites is constantly evolving and growing at a very fast speed. This creates a growing demand for more\nadvanced and reliable EDAC systems that are capable of protecting all memory aspects of satellites. The Hamming code was\nidentified as a suitable EDAC scheme for the prevention of single event effects on-board a nanosatellite in LEO. In this paper, three\nvariations of Hamming codes are tested both in Matlab and VHDL. The most effective version was Hamming [16, 11, 4]2. This\ncode guarantees single-error correction and double-error detection. All developed Hamming codes are suited for FPGA\nimplementation, for which they are tested thoroughly using simulation software and optimized.
