Development of our Processing Platform for Camera Applications
We are pleased to announce the completion of our processing platform designed for camera applications. The system connects the camera to the main board via a 1-meter flex cable, allowing for flexible and far-distance camera installations. The main board handles image data processing and retrieval by command, providing a reliable and efficient solution for many…

Smart Processing and Power Module (SPPM): A Next-Generation Solution for Space Missions
We present our updated design combining the modules SPM and SPS into a Smart Processing and Power Module (SPPM). The Smart Processing and Power Module (SPPM) is an advanced modular hardware stack that integrates the Smart Processing Module (SPM) and Secondary Power Supply (SPS). Built around Microchip’s PolarFire SoC FPGA, the SPM combines 4 RISC-V…

Preliminary vibration tests
A preliminary vibration test was conducted for our electronic unit to verify assembly procedure and load transfer paths of adapters. The tests proved structural integrity of the housing and showed no degradation of functionality. The preliminary tests showed that the loads can be applied with the specimen properties, however, there is some improvement in adapter…

Thermal Vacuum Testing of heater control boards
We have successfully tested a heater control board for our on-going NewSpace project. Our thermal vacuum chamber was capable to thermally cycle from -15 to 60°C and the electronic board was fully functional for the complete test duration. With the test data, a procedure for calibration of test sensors is developed. Next coming will be…

EMM Test set-up commissioning at NaMLab
In the ESA project SpaceNVM, nonvolatile memory devices have been developed by our partner, NaMLab gGmbH. Together, we have demonstrated that these prototype components can be operated with the radiation test set-up developed by EMM without performance degradation compared to tests with NaMLab laboratory equipment. Next stop: Total Ionising Dose testing.
