The Argotec HACK onboard computer (OBC) offers flexibility thanks to its modular design and reconfigurability. Different standard modules, based on both SoCs and FPGAs, can be assembled without the need of external harness, for a variety of applications, from spacecraft management to hardware acceleration.

Each module is designed to be powered by a single +5VDC rail and has standardized thermal and mechanical interfaces, allowing installation both as a single unit or as part of a complex OBC subsystem.

The standard configuration, which includes one core board and one aXelerator Module, has a volume of about 0.5U, a mass of 800g and offers high performance and multiple standard interfaces.

Key features of the HACK OBC include:

• Real-time operating system including hardware driver and API for every peripheral
• Image processing software library
• Image processing IP cores
• Memory management IP cores
• The main SoC (E698PM) is available space grade (TID up to 100krad)
• The FPGA is available defense-grade
• Mass memories are available space grade
• Remaining EEE parts are at least automotive-grade
• Electrical characterization
• Functional testing
