OBC CORE: AFFORDABLE ONBOARD COMPUTER FOR GENERAL APPLICATION ON MINI AND MICROSATELLITES
OBC Core is an affordable onboard computer for general application on mini and microsatellites. Build with rugged automotive-grade components, OBC core features a double or even quadruple redundant architecture, making it a reliable alternative to more expensive radiation-hardened hardware.
The board comes with a software bundle that includes a real-time operating system and tools to manage the board configuration, transfer data and software applications, and collect and transmit telemetry. A Python onboard control procedure engine enables satellite operators to upload scripts that increase the operational autonomy of the satellite.
