About

The SIRIUS-OBC-LEON3FT is a CubeSat Onboard Computer (OBC) developed to deliver ‘always-on’ operation. It is flight-proven across multiple mission applications for a range of customer requirements and has inherited advanced error detection and correction capabilities. This OBC is designed for advanced satellite constellations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and deep space exploration missions, providing precision performance and dependable data through its proven LEON technology. The product is part of a family of solutions that includes the KRYTEN-M3 and Kryten-M3-PLUS, the Q7S command and data handling solution for price-sensitive commercial missions, the Sirius QuadCore for advanced satellite constellations, and the SIRIUS-TCM-LEON3FT for SmallSat mass memory and communications protocol. A development kit, the SIRIUS OBC LEON3FT DEVELOPMENT KIT, is also available for this product.
