The new ASIC, SCOC3, integrates all the functions needed for satellite platform computer in a single component. It offers the computing power of the latest generation 32-bit SPARC processor (LEON 3) and all the communications interfaces and telemetry/remote control, reconfiguration interfaces and memory management functions requested by our customers. The extremely high level of integration considerably reduces the size, weight and cost of our new generation satellite On Board Computer and it represents significant headway towards standardising Astrium computers.
