Taking commercial technology to new heightsThe demand for in-orbit processing capabilities is expanding, but the physical size of the average satellite platform is shrinking. This, combined with a space economy that’s heating up, has resulted in a rapidly increasing demand for low-cost microelectronics and chip-scale technology capable of standing up to the rigors of space. Meeting this need will require an evolution in the production of space-bound electronics, which comes with traditionally high costs and lengthy development times.
