Lion is a backplane-based DPU in ADHA 3U* form factor designed for satellites up to 600 kg. Designed for the ESA Mission Class III and IV, it utilizes Kintex Ultrascale FPGA to deliver enhanced resilience and processing power for critical applications. Lion DPU features a configurable front panel, providing tailor-made setups with SpaceWire and SpaceFiber interfaces. With a standardized design that supports seamless integration, Lion enables faster, cost-effective mission development and adaptability across diverse satellite programs. Available in 2027.

*Advanced Data Handling Architecture (ADHA) is a pioneering ESA initiative that simplifies satellite data handling with standardized, interoperable modules. By enabling seamless integration across suppliers and reusability across missions, ADHA reduces development time and costs while enhancing flexibility and scalability. ADHA is poised to drive a new era of high-performance, adaptable satellite systems for EO missions.
