Benoit Leroy (Airbus)26/10/2022, 10:40
Airbus is one of the first players to introduce commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components into its mass storage portfolio, such as non-volatile Flash memories, now widely used in many space products.
This choice was motivated by a growing demand for on-board data storage, which could not be met by available space-grade components.
The second generation of Airbus Flash mass memories is...

Mr Jerome Pratlong (Teledyne)26/10/2022, 12:00
The imaging sensor market for space is experiencing a rapid growth largely focused on larger area sensors and faster frame rates. This brings challenges in terms how to output a great quantity of data at high speed in a way that it is still easy to interface with the rest of the system and within a reasonable power budget. These challenges are also present in non-space commercial markets. It...
