In recent years, the number of small- and micro-satellite platform providers in Europe has surged. These platforms aim to outperform standard Cubesats while maintaining lower costs compared to traditional space missions.
As summary modern micro satellites have the following processing and storage requirements:
- SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) must be compatible with S/C small-/micro-platform requirements
- Lifetime nominal 5 years in LEO, with a span of 2-7 years
- Downlink of a few hundred Mbit/sData storage of a few hundred Gbits up to a few tens of Tbits
- Payload buffering data rates of a few hundred Mbit/s to Gbit/s
PCB Design have recently successfully developed and demonstrated a rugged (passive cooled) integrated heterogenous AI Edge server (called EMDC: Edge Micro Data Center) in H2020 research project called BRAINE.
In the presentation we will showcase ESA’s activity in this segment, the similarities between the EMDC project and the micro satellites requirements and introduce PCB Design’s strategy in this domain.
