For triple redundancy, is there a way to re-sync if one of them disagrees? Control systems tend to have internal states that may be disrupted even if an input has glitched for a single cycle. Will it eventually converge back to nominal? Or is that processor rejected for the duration of the mission?



If a flight string desyncs (i.e. it has state at the end of a cycle different from its two siblings) then it is automatically rebooted. Then state is automatically resynced from any other sibling after boot. There is no converging between the strings, they are either in complete sync or they aren’t.
