Description
RUAG Space has more than 30 years of experience in developing high-reliable launcher and satellite
on-board command and data-handling electronics. Through this experience the following key items exists:
• a design database with existing & qualified SW and FPGA IP-modules
• an internal certified and customer audited design process for high-reliable electronics
• a high quality and high efficiency electronics production facility already today capable of
producing large series industrial electronics.
The RUAG Space approach to mega constellation satellite electronics is to:
• reuse the existing design data-base, design processes and production facility
• use a mix of high-rel components and up-screened commercial components
This enables us to offer:
• reliable data handling products with low risk
• significantly lower prices and higher performance than the corresponding traditional high-reliable
Products
RUAG Space offers a very compact and reliable SAVOIR compliant On-board Computer (OBC) with integrated GNSS receiver and security functions for mega constellations as a complement to our traditional OBC based on high-rel components.
The mega constellation OBC is designed for 5-7 years lifetime in LEO. Parts procurement, manufacturing and production test strategy is optimised for batches of unit allowing the price per unit to be kept at a fraction of the traditional OBC. Due to the use of state-of-the-art commercial technology the mega constellation OBC provides processing performance in excess of 10 times that of the traditional OBC still providing the same functionality although the number of interfaces is optimised to fit the needs of a small satellite. RUAG Space is developing the OBC for mega constellations product, partially funded by ARTES for specific areas.
