AI<\/a>-capable edge computing solutions for satellites to enable in-orbit data processing.\u00a0<\/p>\nWouter Benoot, co-founder & CTO, mentions, \u201cSince graduation, my ultimate goal has been to create something that goes into orbit. Initially, that seemed like a daunting task. But then came EDGX, a team of like-minded engineers who share those aspirations. With them, I\u2019m confident we can reach new heights, and the unknown no longer seems so daunting.\u201d<\/p>\n
EDGX\u2019s products are the EDGX Sterna Computer and the EDGX SpaceFeather Software.<\/p>\n
The Sterna Computer is designed for compatibility with multiple launch vehicles, including Falcon 9, Ariane 6, and Vega-C. It has undergone qualification testing that included vibration and sine burst tests, thermal-vacuum cycles, and radiation exposure with 200 MeV protons. The system has demonstrated tolerance to a Total Ionising Dose beyond 30 krad(Si) and a destructive LET threshold of 38 MeV\u22c5cm\u00b2\/mg.<\/p>\n
The SpaceFeather Software ecosystem supports Sterna\u2019s operation. It includes a space-hardened Linux operating system built with Yocto, a real-time supervisor for system monitoring and control, an application framework for containerised in-orbit software updates, and radiation shielding software implementing hierarchical fault detection, isolation, and recovery.<\/p>\n
Together, Sterna and SpaceFeather allow satellites to process data in orbit, manage software remotely, and maintain operational continuity in challenging space conditions.<\/p>\n
EDGX has signed a \u20ac1.1M multi-unit commercial agreement with a satellite operator and secured multiple contracts with government and institutional customers.<\/p>\n
The company has also scheduled an in-orbit demonstration on the SpaceX Falcon 9 for February 2026 and has confirmed two additional missions planned for 2026.<\/p>\n
Nick Destrycker, co-founder & CEO, says, \u201cDriving a startup like EDGX, where we\u2019re pioneering completely new technology for space and create a business out of it, is what fuels my passion. There\u2019s something incredibly exciting about creating something from nothing with a team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EDGX has raised \u20ac2.3M to develop AI edge computing technology for satellites.
