Space market is going change with the emergence of new kind of applications and new kind of business models based on more and more private funding. Space industry need to answer to different kind of challenges, on different kind of market field with at starting the same structure and teams. Indeed on top of more traditional class 1 or 2 projects driven by GEO Operators & Space Agencies, there...

- ensuring a decent level of radiation tolerance,
- participating to SwaP optimization (Size, Weight & Power, translating here at least in a limited power consumption of the computing platform),
- having either... -

Mr Nandinbaatar Tsog (Mälardalen University)27/02/2019, 10:00Devices and IP for On-Board Data ProcessingOral presentation
The increasing interest of deep-space exploration, commercial use of small satellites, and in-situ information value extraction on space systems (e.g. CubeSat constellations, rovers, earth observation satellites) require more on-board data processing (OBDP). There are several reasons to require increased on-board data processing. Space applications, especially constellations and robotic...

Mr Tim Helfers (Airbus Defence and Space), Mr Constantin Papadas (ISD SA)27/02/2019, 10:20Devices and IP for On-Board Data ProcessingOral presentation
On-board processing gained an ever increasing acceptance within the last twenty years. To an increasing extend payload data will be processed, formatted, analysed, compressed and encrypted on-board – new features and functionality will be transferred to the spacecraft. The dramatic augmentation of processing performance even add to this momentum. The functional spectrum spans from motor...

Bert-Johan Vollmuller (NLR)27/02/2019, 12:10Devices and IP for On-Board Data ProcessingOral presentation
For a long time, FFT-processing was avoided in on-board processing, due to the heavy load on general purpose processors. Nowadays there are several FFT IP-cores available for eg the Virtex-5 Xilinx FPGA or independant FFT IP-cores, but most of them have lack of accuracy or have a limited FFT-size.
ESA developed, in co-operation with Astrium D&S and Atmel the SkyFFT ASIC: a FFT-processing...

Dr Leonidas Kosmidis (Barcelona Supercomputing Center)27/02/2019, 12:30Devices and IP for On-Board Data ProcessingOral presentation
Embedded GPUs can provide significant computational power at a low-power envelope for large amounts of data. For this reason, they are employed in a wide-range of embedded devices that can benefit from these properties, from handheld devices to autonomous cars to prototype supercomputers. This widespread COTS technology opens a window of opportunity to satisfy the ever increasing needs of...
