NOVI produces on-board processors and multi-sensor satellites that support dynamic data processing in space, allowing delivery of near real-time, actionable data.
Founded in 2017 by Caltech, MIT and Carnegie Mellon grads, each with almost three decades of experience in successfully commercializing and transacting AI / aerospace technologies, NOVI is solving some of the biggest problems associated with today’s Earth Observation (EO) services.
NOVI’s on-board edge computing and multi-sensor satellites reduce cost, complexity and latency associated with EO data, reducing data relay costs by 250 times the current rate. With the proliferation of commercial small sats and cube sats in low-Earth orbit (LEO), data collection and transmission has grown exponentially.
NOVI’s innovative computing solutions leverage advanced artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms to analyze and relay only essential and relevant data from the satellite to the ground user. On-board processing reduces massive data exchanges and streamlines data applications.
SP240 On-Board Computer
Featuring a state-of-the-art AMD Versal adaptive SoC, NOVI’s AI-enabled SP240 OBC is a highly-optimized edge processor that offers unparalleled machine-learning performance in a power efficient CubeSat form factor, while being powerful enough to operate larger payloads and satellite missions.
The AMD Versal is a complex radiation tolerant and latch-up immune SoC that has high performance and real time application processor cores, AI Engine tiles for machine learning workloads, and highly configurable programmable logic for flexible IO.
NOVI’s SP240 OBC also features a radiation-hardened Vorago MCU which can either be used as the primary computer, or as a supervisor for the main processor and other spacecraft systems.
