Following the trend of other safety-critical industries like automotive and avionics, the space
domain is witnessing an increase in the on-board computing performance demands. This
raise in performance needs comes from both control and payload parts of the spacecraft and
calls for advanced electronics systems able to provide high computational power under the
constraints of the harsh space environment. On the non-technical side, for strategic reasons
it is mandatory to get European independence on the used computing technology. In this …
