About

Deep Thought is Spacemanic’s on-board computer for CubeSat and nanosatellite missions. It runs a FreeRTOS-based operating system and integrates on-board sensors for autonomous spacecraft operations. The module fits the standard 67 × 42 × 7.5 mm footprint, weighs 25 g, and draws 330 mW average (under 500 mW peak) from a 3.3 V supply. CSP v1 communication interfaces (I2C, RS-485, CAN) ensure compatibility with Spacemanic’s subsystem ecosystem and third-party components. An open-source software SDK is available for payload integration. The module is flight-heritage qualified and ITAR-free.
