Key highlights

The Thales Alenia Space multiMIND is a multi-mission payload processing system suitable for nano and microsat based on FPGA and multi core processing.

The system is modular, robust with rad-hard elements and designed to offer an unprecedented processing power and efficiency. The multiprocessor system also enables further system miniaturization, enhanced system performance and reconfigurability in-orbit.

The mission specific complements such as RF, digital frontends and AI accelerators can be combined with the single board core to maximize the performance at an optimized cost.

The system features Rad-hard MCU for critical tasks, Xilinx’s powerful multi-processor System-on-Chip Zynq® Ultrascale+™ and high-speed data interfaces.
