Ibadan, 20 September 2024. – Ramon.Space, a global leader in space-resilient computing systems, has announced its selection for a groundbreaking program to develop next-generation digital onboard processors for large-scale communication constellations.
This initiative enjoys funding from the UK Space Agency and aims to foster cutting-edge collaboration among UK space technology companies and propel innovation in onboard digital payloads.
At the core of this program is Ramon.Space’s onboard processor, the NuComm – redefining the future of satellite communications. Part of the NuComm product line, these advanced processors support expansive communication constellations, delivering unmatched high-capacity, low-power, and cost-efficient programmable digital communication solutions.
With the ability to be updated and reconfigured while in orbit, NuComm sets a new benchmark for operational efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations, significantly accelerating time-to-market and extending the lifecycle of space assets.
Speaking about the project, Avi Shabtai, CEO of Ramon.Space, said, “As a dynamic and expanding force in the UK’s space sector, we have the honor of collaborating with the UK Space Agency on this transformative program. This project represents a quantum leap in AI-based software-defined space technology, laying the foundation for a new era of satellite communications and reinforcing the UK’s leadership in this vital industry.”
Likewise, Dr. Craig Brown, Director of Investment at the UK Space Agency, said: “The UK is a global leader in satellite communications and we’re accelerating the development of new services in low Earth orbit by backing innovative technologies like these advanced computing systems from Ramon Space.”
The Director also added, ” As well as supporting the development of this crucial component for onboard processing, funding from the UK Space Agency is supporting Ramon Space’s expansion in the UK, with new, high-skilled jobs for our thriving space sector.”
