SP1-S Aquarius
Space-qualified 3U OpenVPX SBC
Description:
The SP1-S, a 3U OpenVPX space-rated single-board computer (SBC), is engineered for high-performance space missions, including LEO, GEO, lunar and deep space missions. The SP1-S is designed to be used in multiple spacecraft and payload systems to improve orbit computation and meet the growing needs for edge processing and analysis and on-board computing. With a wide range of I/Os, a powerful on-board processor, and a high-performance configurable FPGA that enables mission flexibility, the SP1-S delivers mission-critical reliability and adaptability essential for space applications including Earth observation, communications, Command and Data Handling (C&DH), robotic applications with vision processing, power distribution and management, and signal processing and analysis.
Based on NXP’s Layerscape LS1046A system on chip (SoC), which incorporates 4 cores of 64-bit Arm Cortex-A72 processing power, the SP1-S harnesses performance-enhancing DDR4 with ECC to yield high capacity and better bandwidth. Robust PMC interfaces support legacy Space-rated I/O boards. The SP1-S is fully radiation-tested and characterized to 100 krad (Si) and provides latch-up immunity to 67 MeV-cm2/mg.
