Storage
Computational Storage
2TB Solid-state drive designed for modern satellites
PELICAN
Available for Pre-Order Now
High reliability and fault tolerance with its dual-string redundant design using top-quality components
Dual-string Redundant
Ability to process data on the device itself reducing the workload on the host system
Computational Engine
Combines the latest AMD SoC at its core alongside a rad-tolerant power system, RAM, NOR flash memory, oscillators, interface circuits, and 3D NAND chips
Custom NAND Controller
Optimize Your Space Data
World’s first computational storage device for spacecraft
High Capacity
Store data for later downlink, or keep reference data to support image processing tasks such as change detection.
Autonomous
Built-in computational engine enables processing of data without transporting it to another system. Background tasks can automatically flag interesting data.
Radiation-Tolerant
Designed for the harsh environment of space. Commercial NAND chips are hardened with our proprietary hardware, firmware, and software protections.
