About

The OBCU-500-NS is a high-performance On-Board Computer (OBC) developed by Airbus Defence and Space as part of its broader avionics platform range, which also includes payload interface units and remote interface units for conventional and New Space applications. It is designed to serve the next generation of LEO constellations and beyond. As part of Airbus’ Unified Avionics Strategy, the OBCU-500-NS seamlessly bridges the gap between the dynamic New Space market and the stringent Hi-Rel (high-reliability) market, delivering solutions intended for the future of space exploration. It is targeted at applications including LEO constellations, Earth observation missions, navigation and telecom platforms, science and technology demonstration missions, and institutional or commercial New Space platforms.
