RTX’s Post

At 13 years of age, I got my first computer, the Sinclair 1000 kit for Christmas. It had 2KB of memory. Since then, my love for computers and systems has reached the edge of Space. For all you systems types, enjoy this design-in-depth presentation of the Apollo Guidance Computer. Well ahead of its time in design principles! #SystemConstraints #SystemsEngineering #ComputerScience

When we think of space exploration activities, we often think of large, impressive pieces of space hardware and technology. But also keep an eye out for the small, yet critical pieces of technology - such as our SAVER products. These Field Data Recorders play a key role in the process of actually getting space hardware to the launch pad. https://lnkd.in/e42GGysK #SAVERs #space #aerospace

https://xkcd.com/2909/ This is probably worth considering for Artemis' Lunar Gateway (of which I am currently contributing to Halo / MHM at Airbus Crisa). Basically, instead of the burdensome plan of firing a rocket towards the Moon, just bring the Moon closer to make things easier for everyone.

🛰 Further exploring Antelope, our On-Board Computer (OBC) with a Data Processing Unit (DPU), due to embark on its first orbital journey in 2023 aboard D-Orbit's ION Satellite Carrier. This specific model of Antelope is optimized for demanding missions and comprises two key modules:  ⚙️ OBC: The core of Antelope is the Hercules RM57-based On-Board Computer. Following the PC-104 form factor, it is fortified with 8 MiB of MRAM and 4 GiB of NAND Flash memory, ensuring robust performance and data integrity.  ⚙️ DPU: The Data Processing Unit is a formidable force, powered by the Zynq Ultrascale MPSoC. It comes with 8 GiB of DDR4 and 8 GiB of NAND Flash memory, enabling Antelope to process complex data tasks on-board. Antelope stands out due to its excellent radiation resistance. Specialized mechanisms provide robust protection against space radiation effects, making it a stellar choice for even the most challenging missions. Moreover, machine learning algorithms add an extra layer of security. These intelligent systems use live telemetric data to identify potentially threatening events to the mission. When such an event is detected, Antelope turns on the safe mode or alerts the operator, ensuring immediate corrective action can be taken. As we countdown to Antelope's maiden space voyage, we remain committed to advancing space technology and setting new benchmarks in satellite performance. Stay tuned for more updates as we inch closer to launch day! 🚀 #KPLabs #missioncomplete #mission #space #DPU #OBC #computer
