On-Board Computers

NOVI designs and manufactures advanced, purpose-built on-board computers (OBCs). 

NOVI OBCs are low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) systems that have been designed, developed, qualified, and flight-proven to survive launch and operation in space environments.

Benefits include one of the most advanced, flexible, and adaptable AI processors, developed specifically for efficiency in edge applications; an architecture that is sensor- and interface-agnostic, allowing for broad utility and easy integration into new and existing platforms and systems; hardware designed to be manufactured in the United States; and availability of a family of products for LEO, MEO, and GEO. 

In addition to NOVI’s off-the-shelf OBCs, NOVI offers “semi-custom” and “custom” processor design, development, and qualification to meet specific form factors, environments, redundancy needs, and more.

SP240: Unparalleled processing performance in a power-efficient form factor

  • Flight proven and operating in orbit.

  • AMD Versal-based system.

  • Modular architecture that enables consolidation of flight computer, sensor interfacing, and data processing into a low-cost, compact, power-efficient form factor.

  • Unparalleled machine-learning/artificial intelligence performance for CubeSats, as well as larger payloads and satellite missions.

  • Radiation tolerant for reliable operations in LEO at low cost.

  • Flexible I/O – highly customizable and reconfigurable.

  • Multi-sensor capable – can support multiple sensors and/or larger sensors, as well as provide satellite operation & flight computer functionality.

SPC30: Compact Radiation Hardened Compute

  • Based on the flight proven SP240 design.

  • Vorago Technologies radiation-hardened MCU with performance powerful enough to be used as a primary flight computer or as a supervisor to spacecraft systems.

  • Very low size, weight and power.

  • Fully radiation hardened: suitable for applications in GEO, cis-lunar, and beyond.
