Spaceflight KID Readout Electronics Development for PRIMAWe present the design and testing of spaceflight multiplexing kinetic inductance detector (KID) readout electronics for the PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA). PRIMA is a mission proposed to the 2023 NASA Astrophysics Probe Explorer (APEX) Announcement of Opportunity that will answer fundamental questions about the formation of planetary systems, as well as the formation and evolution of stars, supermassive black holes, and dust over cosmic time. The readout electronics for PRIMA must be compatible with operation at Earth-Sun L2 and capable of multiplexing more than 1000 detectors over 2 GHz bandwidth while consuming around 30 W per readout chain. The electronics must also be capable of switching between the two instruments, which have different readout bands,: the hyperspectral imager (PRIMAger, 2.5-5.0 GHz) and the spectrometer (FIRESS, 0.4-2.4 GHz). We present the driving requirements, design, and measured performance of a laboratory brassboard system.
