August 31, 2021

Ramon.Space has been selected by the Israel Space Agency to provide a space computing payload for a mission scheduled to launch in early 2022. As part of the mission, Ramon.Space digital payload will perform computing on-orbit including software updates and upgrades using the company’s programmable space computing systems.

Ramon.Space high performance computing systems are based on in-house manycore Rad[1]Hard DSP space processor IC’s complete with machine learning, storage and a virtual radiation shield designed to operate reliably in the harsh space environment.

Ramon.Space systems serve as the computing infrastructure for next generation space applications such as communication, remote sensing, and data networking. The company’s proven technology enables full software defined communication systems including software[1]defined radio, channelizers, inter satellite links, routing in space and digital beamforming to maximum bandwidth utilization and increase flexibility and scalability for communication satellite payloads. Ramon.Space’s high performance, power efficient, SW-defined systems are paving the way for smart, autonomous satellites for LEO, MEO and GEO missions, boosting their in[1]orbit capabilities.

“We are proud to collaborate with the Israel Space Agency and look forward to the launch which will further validate our advanced computing capabilities in space,” said Avi Shabtai, CEO of Ramon.Space. We continue to develop and make advancements to our digital computing payloads which are targeted for many more missions to come.”

“Space missions call for earth-like flexibility and reliable computing infrastructure,'' said Avi Blasberger, Director General of the Israel Space Agency, part of the Ministry of Science and Technology. “We have been very impressed with the computing capabilities that Ramon.Space offers. Ramon.Space is a trusted partner and we are confident that their cutting edge space technology will set the direction for the future of computing in space and revolutionize digital payloads.”
