Lion is a backplane-based DPU in ADHA 3U form factor designated to 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.
Advantages
Recurrence - Core modules can be reused in various missions, with different performance/interface requirements.
Flexibility - New functions and interfaces can be integrated without requiring the redesign of core modules.
Improved quality - By reusing the same modules, quality of the end-to-end solution can be increased over time due to growing heritage.
Key applications
Vision-Based Relative Navigation
Enables precise navigation for close-proximity tasks, such as debris removal and docking, by using AI-driven, on-board processing of visual sensor data.
Multi-Sensor Data Processing
Processes and fuses data from multiple sensors in real time, allowing for advanced autonomous operations like in-orbit servicing and spacecraft coordination.
Autonomous Spacecraft Operations
Allows satellites to independently adapt to changing mission conditions, ensuring efficient responses to unexpected scenarios without relying on ground control.
