In order to do computations, control and monitor numerous systems, and communicate with Earth-based systems, spacecraft must have onboard computers.
The onboard computers of spacecraft are built to function in challenging circumstances like intense radiation, icy temperatures, and zero gravity.
They must also be extremely dependable because any malfunction or failure could have negative effects on the crew and the mission.
The demand for spacecraft on-board computers is anticipated to increase as space research and commercial space travel continue to flourish, with continued technological developments pushing the creation of increasingly sophisticated and powerful systems.
The market for onboard computers for spacecraft is anticipated to gain from rising government and private sector spending on space exploration and research.
The Global Spacecraft On Board Computer Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A completely redundant, self-contained flight computer for satellite applications, Honeywell’s radiation-protected processor evolved from the PowerPC 603e TM (RHPPC) On-Board Computer (OBC).
For the majority of satellite bus control operations, a dual-string Single Board Computer with a 28V-70V power supply has all the processing power and interface requirements.
The radiation-hardened PPC 603e processor, the brain of the computer, can resist the most rigorous radiation environment yet created, including strategic missions.
The required processing power and memory for the majority of spaceship control applications is provided by a processor with 152 DMIPS processing speed, up to 32MB of radiation-hardened SRAM, and 4MB of EEPROM.
MIL-STD-1553 is the primary command interface. A sophisticated software development environment and a VxWorks board support package (BSP) are both included in the RHPPC OBC.
As a pioneer in onboard computing and space electronics, Honeywell has delivered over 2,000 units of certified Strategic Grade processors and over 200 space computers with a 100% on-orbit success rate.
