About

The FG-1 is a state-of-the-art Cubesat satellite board specifically designed for capturing high-quality images from a CameraLink camera in a Cubesat satellite. It embodies the latest advancements in space technology, ensuring optimal performance even in the harsh conditions of space. The device is built to withstand the rigors of space travel, providing consistent performance throughout its lifespan. It operates efficiently within a temperature range of -40 to 85 degrees Celsius and adheres to launch vehicle shocks and vibrations. At its core, the FG-1 utilizes an Actel/Microsemi Flash-based FPGA, which is immune to Single Event Upsets (SEUs). It supports Power Over CameraLink (PoCL) with an onboard On/OFF switch and CameraLink UART configuration. The FG-1 is capable of handling complex computations and data processing tasks, making it an invaluable asset for any imaging Cubesat mission. It offers flexible power input options, extensive memory configurations, and various interfaces for control and data transfer.
