Board Computer for Space

The SCS750® single board computer for space is Maxwell's answer to the space industry's need for medium- to high-performance computing. The SCS750 combines the latest generation of IBM PowerPC® processor with large amounts of volatile and non-volatile storage and a variety of interfaces in an industry standard 6u cPCI form factor.

Any radiation upset (SEU) is transparently corrected. The user never has to worry about executing a bad instruction or accessing corrupt information. Software development is simplified by using the industry standard VxWorks operating environment. The SCS750's powerful processing capability and high availability make it the ideal choice for data processing or spacecraft control applications.

ÅAC Microtec AB

ÅAC Microtec is a company developing miniaturized and robust multifunctional electronics systems.

By combining the best suitable packaging techniques we offer solutions based on state-of-the art microelectronics and MEMS technology, and services for optimal life cycle performance.

ÅAC Microtec was founded in 2005 as a spin-off from Uppsala University's Ångström Laboratory. It began with a vision to develop nanosatellites that were easy to launch. It became a center of academic excellence in miniaturizing and packaging electronics with mechanics. On January 21, 2009, the vision became a reality when our flight computer went into orbit onboard SpriteSat, a Japanese satellite built to observe terrestrial lightning flashes in the upper atmosphere. 

AAC Microtec is supporting NASA for the integration and commercialization of small satellites.

CRISA

CRISA (Computadoras, Redes e Ingeniería, S.A.) is a Spanish company founded in 1985 to design and manufacture electronic equipment and software for space applications: satellites, launchers, orbital infrastructure and space transportation vehicles. In 2000, CRISA became part of the EADS Astrium group.

CRISA, employs (in 2013) more than 390 people. The company has played a relevant role in several ESA's scientific and Earth observation missions, developing payload processors and hardware and software controllers: data processing units, control units, power conditioning and distribution units, ground segment and test bench equipment.

All of these developments play a vital role in monitoring the Earth's environmental conditions, the observation of natural events, as well as the scientific research of the Universe, the Moon, comets and planets. Some of the main programs that carry this equipment onboard include the Meteosat Second Generation, MetOp, Rosetta, Mars and Venus Express, Herschel, Planck, GOCE, ATV vehicles, NASA's Mars rover Curiosity or Ariane 5 and Vega launchers. Presently, more than 25 projects are being undertaken for future upcoming missions like Ingenio, Paz, LISA Pathfinder, Gaia, Sentinel-2&3, BepiColombo, EathCARE, Solar Orbiter or Metosat Third Generation among others.

CRISA is also very active in telecommunication satellites developing various electronic units for communications satellite platform like Eurostar E3000, AlphaBus and SmallGEO.
