Computing systems for space.
Onboard systems, payload electronics, and embedded computing for space missions.
We work with embedded computing and electronics for space. Our focus is onboard processing, payload electronics, and sensor interfaces, designed to work within the strict constraints of small satellite platforms.
Embedded Computing
Microcontroller and embedded Linux systems for onboard functions. STM32 (Cortex-M) platforms, firmware development, and hardware bring-up.
Payload Electronics
Sensor interfaces, signal conditioning, and data acquisition for scientific and Earth observation payloads.
Onboard Systems
Computing architectures and processing pipelines for small satellite missions.
We also bring additional capabilities to a project through specialist engineers with experience in satellite, defence, and research programmes.
FPGA Design
RTL design and verification for onboard processing. SpaceWire and CCSDS protocol implementation, custom IP development, and UVM-based testbench work.
Mission-Critical Firmware
Real-time control software and embedded firmware for systems where reliability is a hard requirement. Protocol stacks including I²C, SPI, UART, and SpaceWire.
Simulation and Modelling
Hardware and system-level simulation and modelling for mission analysis and design verification. Useful at concept and preliminary design stages, before committing to hardware.
Delivered in collaboration with specialist engineers as the project requires. We deliver full systems or work alongside your team on specific packages.
We build from the hardware up, understanding the physical constraints before committing to an architecture. We analyse power budgets, thermal limits, size, and the radiation environment.
