Solid state recorders /
mass memories and payload data processing
The Airbus solid-state recorder line is a series of products providing onboard data recording and playback capability for satellite and spacecraft platforms and payloads. Airbus Defence and Space has been supplying recorders based on solid-state technology for over 30 years.
NEMO-2: non-volatile extendable memory on-board
The NEMO-2 is a compact solid-state recorder that provides highend
mass memory storage and performance to a broad range of
missions. This product line is the result of over 30 years, where Airbus
Defence and Space has gained a strong flight heritage on solid-state
technologies. NEMO-2’s architecture is modular and scalable, based on qualified
building blocks packaged in slice form factor.
NEMO: a non-volatile flash based scalable recorder
- New generation products using NAND Flash technology provide typically 60% higher storage capacity for 2.5 times less mass, are five-times smaller, and consume 3.5 times less power compared with previous solid-state recorder generations based on SDRAM technology
- Fully qualified, the integrated flash technology is qualified and screened to meet the requirements of both NASA and ESA standards.
- Flight heritage on Spot 6 and Spot 7 satellite
An integrated COmpression Recording and CIphering (CORECI) solution for Earth observation satellites
- Integrated image compressor, mass memory and data ciphering unit designed to process, store and format multi-spectral video instrument data for the satellite downlink.
- The mass memory utilises high performance commercial flash components, ESA-qualified and up-screened for their use in space equipment
- The first CORECI unit has been successfully operating on the Spot 6 satellite
