Summary
The Spiral Blue Space Edge Computer (SE-1) is an onboard computer system designed for Earth Observation (EO) satellites. With 21 TOPS of computing power in a small package, the Spiral Blue SE-1 is ideal for high-performance Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. It is designed EO satellites to process captured images on the satellite itself.
SE-1 utilizes NVIDIA Jetson series modules, maximizing processing power while keeping power draw manageable. It also consists of polymer shielding to protect against Single Event Effects and additional software and hardware mitigations.
Key features
The system can be customized with a range of options specific to a customer's requirements, such customization can include:
- Enclosure/mounting brackets:
- Machined aluminum brackets are available to suit a CubeSat form factor satellite bus
- Alternative form factor brackets can be made on request
- Onboard software available for:
- Application management software
- Telemetry logging
- Software maintenance
- Thermal management:
- Standard thermal management includes copper plates and pipes
- Customised thermal management solutions are available depending on satellite requirements
- Cabling - Spiral Blue can manufacture cabling to suit the mission requirements, including:
- Low out-gassing Ethernet and CAN cables for the computer to satellite bus connections (power and data)
- Custom-made USB2 and USB3 cables for the computer to the payload (i.e. imager) connections
Flight heritage
The Spiral Blue Space Edge Computer (SE-1) was launched in January 2023 aboard a Satellogic satellite.
