Satellite Payload & Data Acquisition

The FG-1 is a state-of-the-art Cubesat satellite board, specifically designed for capturing high-quality images from a CameraLink camera in a Cubesat satellite. This device embodies the latest advancements in space technology, ensuring optimal performance even in the harsh conditions of space.

RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY

The FG-1 is built to withstand the rigors of space travel , providing consistent performance throughout it’s lifespan. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius and adheres to the launch vehicle shocks and vibrations.

CORE ARCHITECTURE

At the heart of the FG-1 lies the Actel/Microsemi Flash-based FPGA, immune to Single Event Upsets (SEUs). It supports Power Over CameraLink (PoCL) with an onboard On/OFF switch and CameraLink UART configuration. The FG-1 is capable of handling complex computations and data processing tasks, making it an invaluable asset for any imaging Cubesat mission.
