The SP240 is NOVI’s flagship, flight-proven, low SWaP, high-performance On-Board Computer.
Featuring a state-of-the-art AMD Versal adaptive SoC, NOVI’s AI-enabled SP240 OBC is a highly-optimized edge processor that offers un-paralleled machine-learning performance in a power efficient CubeSat form factor, while being powerful enough to operate larger payloads and satellite missions.
The AMD Versal is a complex radiation tolerant and latch-up immune SoC that has high performance and real time application processor cores, AI Engine tiles for machine learning workloads, and highly configurable programmable logic for flexible IO.
NOVI’s SP240 OBC also features a radiation-hardened Vorago MCU which can either be used as the primary computer, or as a supervisor for the main processor and other spacecraft systems.
