About
The CAVU FG-1 is a specialized CubeSat satellite board engineered to capture high-quality imagery from CameraLink cameras in space environments. At its core is a Microchip/Microsemi Flash-based FPGA that is immune to Single Event Upsets (SEUs). The FG-1 supports Power Over CameraLink (PoCL) with an onboard On/Off switch and CameraLink UART configuration. It is designed for ISS CubeSat Deployer compatibility and provides CAN 2.0, High Speed QSPI LVDS, and configurable UART/I2C interfaces.
