Creotech Instruments S.A.
Onboard Computer (OBC)

SpaceVPX 3U onboard computer with multiple SpaceWire interfaces, ARM processor, and RTEMS RTOS support, at TRL 6.

About

Creotech’s onboard computer (OBC) subsystem is built in the SpaceVPX 3U form factor and features multiple SpaceWire interfaces for communication with other spacecraft subsystems. It uses an ARM microcontroller running at 100 MHz, with 128 MB of operational memory, 64 GB of data storage, and 8 MB of non-volatile FeRAM memory for the application image.

The OBC runs a software port of the RTEMS real-time operating system with a board support package and drivers, providing a proven software foundation for mission-critical flight software.
