CDH-FS: Proven Reliability Powers Earth Observation LEO Satellite Mission
March 2024 – CAVU Aerospace UK is proud to announce another successful delivery of its CDH-FS, a fully redundant double onboard computer and command and data handling (C&DH) subsystem, for a critical Earth Observation LEO satellite mission. This milestone further solidifies the CDH-FS‘s reputation as a reliable and high-performance solution for demanding space applications.
Mission-Critical Reliability in Orbit
The CDH-FS‘s full redundancy and fault-tolerant architecture are crucial for ensuring the uninterrupted operation of Earth Observation satellites, which require continuous data collection and transmission. The successful integration of the CDH-FS into this LEO mission demonstrates its ability to withstand the harsh space environment and deliver consistent performance for critical tasks such as image processing, data analysis, and satellite control.
Inherent Reliability for Mission-Critical Operations
The CDH-FS, built on the foundation of a Flash-Based SmartFusion2 FPGA SoC, not only delivers impressive processing power but also inherits inherent SEU immunity. This, coupled with the integration of magneto-resistive memories, ensures that the CDH-FS maintains data integrity and operational stability even in the harsh radiation environment of space. This level of reliability is crucial for small to medium satellite missions, where the consequences of system failure can be significant.
Seamless Integration and Adaptability
With its comprehensive suite of interfaces, the CDH-FS seamlessly integrates with various satellite subsystems and payloads, streamlining data acquisition and control. Its adaptable design allows it to meet the specific requirements of different Earth Observation missions, providing a flexible and scalable solution for a wide range of applications.
A Proven Solution for Demanding Missions
The successful deployment of the CDH-FS in this Earth Observation LEO satellite mission further validates its position as a trusted solution for space applications that demand the utmost reliability and performance. CAVU Aerospace UK remains committed to pushing the boundaries of space technology, delivering innovative solutions that enable the next generation of space exploration and scientific discovery.
