Abstract

Spacecraft on-board digital processing devices and software have become one of the major cost drivers, rapidly growing in volume and complexity. Reprogrammable FPGA, System On Chip, Multi-core and Many-core processing devices will provide higher on-board computing performance for payloads as well as being an opportunity for more functional integration. But changing from a single to several processors architecture is not trivial and implies few technical challenges. On this evolution, the presentation will identify main technical issues and provide illustrations of future missions and further opportunities with new devices.
