Value proposition

SpaceWire and SpaceFibre Expertise

STAR-Dundee is an aerospace engineering company, which designs network and related
data-handling technology for use on-board spacecraft. STAR-Dundee provides electronic
test and development equipment and chip designs for spaceflight applications.
Our highly experienced engineers were instrumental in the development of SpaceWire,
writing the ECSS standard with inputs from international spacecraft engineers.

SpaceWire is now widely used on-board spacecraft with over 100 space missions already
in orbit or currently being designed using SpaceWire technology. Our engineers are
currently leading the research, technical development and standardisation of the next
generation of SpaceWire technology, SpaceFibre, which is a substantial leap forward,
offering much higher data rates, quality of service, fault detection, isolation and
recovery, deterministic data delivery, low latency time-synchronisation and event
signalling, and many other features and benefits.

Since 2002, STAR-Dundee has provided SpaceWire evaluation, test and development
equipment to the world’s space agencies and aerospace companies. Our SpaceWire
interface boards and units are used in Electronic Ground Support Equipment
for integrating and testing many spacecraft. Our IP cores are integrated in spaceflight
systems monitoring the Earth, exploring our Solar System, studying the universe and
supporting commercial space applications.

STAR-Dundee is committed to providing the best possible solution for your application.
Our team of highly qualified and experienced engineers understands the challenges
of designing systems for space applications. Our well proven technology has flown on
many high profile space missions. Part of our commitment to our customers is the effort
that we spend on the research, development and standardisation of data-handling
technology. SpaceFibre is the latest manifestation of our commitment to engineering
excellence and international standardisation.
