Aitech’s SP1 SpaceVPX SBC Showcases Strategic Integration of Teledyne’s Advanced Space Computing Capabilities

CHATSWORTH, Calif. & GRENOBLE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aitech and Teledyne e2v Semiconductors are proud to highlight their continued collaboration in advancing space-grade computing. Through their ongoing partnership, Teledyne e2v’s high-reliability semiconductors are being integrated into Aitech’s SP1, a radiation-tolerant 3U SpaceVPX single-board computer (SBC).

Designed for deployment in LEO, GEO, lunar, and deep space missions, the SP1 is a robust computing platform tailored for spacecraft and payload systems requiring high-performance edge processing, onboard analysis, and mission adaptability. At its core, the SP1 leverages Teledyne e2v’s QLS1046-Space system-on-chip (SoC), offering advanced processing in a compact, space-qualified form factor. Its multi-core architecture and high-bandwidth memory enable AI-based algorithms for onboard analysis and autonomous decision-making.

“Radiation-tolerant, high-performance SBCs are foundational for modern space missions, providing the speed and resilience needed to process complex workloads while withstanding the harsh radiation conditions and ensuring long-term operational success,” said D. Davis, general manager, Aitech (ADSI). “By combining our high-performance, ruggedized hardware with Teledyne e2v’s radiation-tolerant technologies, we are setting a new standard for mission-critical reliability and adaptability for space applications.”

The QLS1046-Space SoC, part of Teledyne e2v’s Qormino® family, features four 64-bit Arm® Cortex®-A72 cores and DDR4 memory with ECC, offering high bandwidth and robust data integrity. Radiation-tested to 100 krad (Si) and immune to latch-up at 67 MeV-cm²/mg, it ensures dependable operation in extreme space environments.

“Teledyne e2v’s advanced semiconductors solutions form the foundation for next-generation space systems,” said David Hien, General Manager of Teledyne e2v Semiconductors. “By enabling onboard AI and machine learning, our QLS1046-Space SoC helps spacecraft process data autonomously and make smarter decisions in real time. We’re proud to collaborate with Aitech and see our technologies integrated into the SP1 platform, enabling smarter, more autonomous spacecraft solutions.”

The SP1 is well-suited for applications such as Earth observation, communications, Command and Data Handling (C&DH), robotic vision processing, power distribution, and signal analysis, making it a key enabler for next-generation space systems. It features a high-capacity FPGA, providing exceptional flexibility for customer IP integration and enabling a wide range of interface expansion options across multiple platforms.
