iX5-100
Unibap Space Solutions AB
Unibap's iX5-100 is an onboard processing solution used in the NASA HyTI Mission for data collection, processing, and communication from a 6U CubeSat platform.
About
The Unibap iX5-100 is utilized in the NASA 6U CubeSat Hyperspectral Thermal Imager (HyTI) Mission. This solution is responsible for the collection and data processing of camera sensor data, as well as communication back to Earth. The iX5-100 occupies approximately 10 cm x 10 cm x 5 cm within the satellite and provides essential functions such as health monitoring, data transfer, data storage, and data processing. It features a heterogeneous architecture comprising CPU, GPU, and FPGA, with an alternative dedicated AI accelerator. Onboard the HyTI satellite, the iX5-100 processes approximately 464 megabits per second (Mbps) of real-time data from the spectral thermal sensor and offers up to 240 GB of non-volatile data storage. This capability enables the study of plant and surface properties in the infrared spectrum from space, with applications including monitoring volcanic eruptions, oil spills, virus-attacked arable land, and forest fires.
