The new RUAG Space Lynx computer for satellites and spacecrafts is 250 times more powerful than regular On Board Computers.

RUAG Space, a leading supplier to the space industry, has developed a new powerful computer for satellites called “Lynx”. The development has been done at RUAG Space in Gothenburg, Sweden. “Our computer contains an extreme amount of power”, explains Anders Linder, Senior Vice President Electronics at RUAG Space. Lynx is 250 times more powerful than the normal On Board Computers, which RUAG currently delivers to programs of the European Space Agency.

Computing power for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Anders Linder, Senior Vice President Electronics at RUAG Space: “We have a computer ready that perfectly matches the requirements for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in space development programs.”

“We have been very early with this development. This year, we are seeing that Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is starting to arrive in space development programs and now we have a computer ready that perfectly matches the requirements of these customers”, says Anders Linder. “Customers who want to do Machine Learning in space need a lot of computing power – which our computer can provide.”

High performance, long life

The Lynx Single Board Computer provides a very high processing performance and is designed for a long life in any satellite orbit or spacecraft trajectory. The computer offers a high-performance processor and a powerful FPGA (field-programmable gate array) for flexibility in terms of communication, interface and processing capability. It can be used on the platform or in the payload.
