Specification
FPGA: Kintex Ultrascale
RAM from 4GB to 16GB
4xSpW + 8xSpFi/ 8xSpW /4x Analog input for ADC/ mission-specific
Space Fibre router (optional)
ADHA 3U
Advantages
Recurrence
Core modules can be reused in various missions, with different performance/interface requirements.
Flexibility
New functions and interfaces can be integrated without requiring the redesign of core modules.
Improved quality
By reusing the same modules, quality of the end-to-end solution can be increased over time due to growing heritage.
Scalability
Increased performance can be supported by the data handling system, simply by adding additional modules.
Key applications
Vision-Based Relative Navigation
Enables precise navigation for close-proximity tasks, such as debris removal and docking, by using AI-driven, on-board processing of visual sensor data.
Multi-Sensor Data Processing
Processes and fuses data from multiple sensors in real time, allowing for advanced autonomous operations like in-orbit servicing and spacecraft coordination.
Autonomous Spacecraft Operations
Allows satellites to independently adapt to changing mission conditions, ensuring efficient responses to unexpected scenarios without relying on ground control.
