The Beyond Gravity Lynx computer for satellites is 250 times more powerful than regular onboard computers. The Lynx computer provides capability to process data already in orbit instead of processing it on earth – saving time, energy, and cost.
The Lynx computer can process all images for suitability and only transmits valid images. It is a single-board computer, designed for critical tasks in a harsh radiation environment, with flexible communication, interface, and mass storage capabilities, all in 6U Space VPX form factor.
The processing capability is provided by the quad core ARM processor delivering more than 30.000 DMIPS, and onboard flash storage, rated for 15 years in low earth orbit and beyond.
In addition, Lynx includes a powerful FPGA (field-programmable gate array) for flexibility in communication, interface, and processing capability. The Lynx’s computer power and flexibility allow it to perform as both the primary satellite flight computer and/or payload computer solution.
Anders Linder, Executive Vice President Division Satellites at Beyond Gravity said, “We have a computer that matches the requirements for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in space development programs. Lynx computer opens up a world of AI opportunities.”
