Payload Processor Module

This miniaturised module allows for powerful data processing and application flexibility.

Our flight proven CP400.85 processing platform features high computing power, low energy consumption and a general purpose processing platform on the footprint of only 20 x 50 mm.

The Linux-based operating system allows users to run various algorithms as distinct, uploadable applications, enabling almost limitless flexibility.These can be run parallel to each other, in which case the OS takes care of the scheduling. Depending on the carrier board (supplied separately), the module can be used as a powerful payload processor, or as a general purpose on-board computer.

Using the optional storage module, users can store up to 7.5 Gb of data in reliable, radiation tolerant storage, and can optionally store over 64 GB of bulk data on two SD-cards.

Heritage

The CP400 has been flying in LEO since 2018 on CubeSat missions and is at TRL 9.

Storage

Using the optional storage module of the same 2×5 cm footprint, users can store up to 7.5 Gb of data in reliable, radiation tolerant storage, and can optionally store over 64 GB of bulk data on two SD-cards.

Performance

The platform consists of modified COTS components to withstand up to 25 krad of radiation. The fast boot time ensure maximum system up time for computing tasks. Its small form factor allows integration in the iADCS400, allowing for saving space when it is of the essence.
