Anti-fuse tech. is inherently rad-hard for space use. That's usually
why someone picks Actel (that's why I do, anyway).

Although... Xilinx flew to, and is currently roving on Mars -- those
designers used some special tricks to "up" the rad-hardness of those
designs: redundant chips and TRM gates. I have read things that makes
me believe JPL has to re-load the Xilinx FPGA's on the rovers more than
once per day.

As for the FIR design, the larger of the MX series should work just
fine for your design.
