About
The high-performance FoX platform is a modular system of off-the-shelf modules, including Software/Firmware, to meet any need for your space electronics. Applications include spacecraft control, edge/payload processing, payload/robotics control, GNSS receiver, cloud computing and much more. FoX stands for Flexible On-board avioniX.
Beyond Gravity’s innovative component selection and test approach, based on decades of successfully building space equipment, delivers traditional-space reliability and quality at new-space cost. Ethernet-based communication facilitates redundancy and robustness at high data rates to ensure mission success.
The 3U SpaceVPX modular platform allows the FoX platform to be scaled to match the mission’s need, and its modularity allows changes late in a project. Customers profit from the functional modules within FoX, for example PinPoint and the constellation Single Board Computer.
