Representatives from DSI Aerospace, a provider of high-performance electronics and mass storage systems for airborne and space applications, and Frontgrade Technologies, the leading provider of high-reliability, radiation-assured solutions for the defense, commercial, and civil industries, signed an agreement at Space Tech Expo to develop Frontgrade’s SpaceStor™ 2TB Mass Memory Unit. After DSI completes design of the MMU, Frontgrade will assemble and test at its Colorado, U.S. facility, and serve as the exclusive storefront for SpaceStor in North America.
Under this newly signed agreement, Frontgrade will leverage its own 60-year space flight heritage with DSI’s proven expertise in flash memory controller IP and full mass memory unit hardware. The SpaceStor MMU is being designed to meet the demanding requirements of today’s Space environment and missions where reliable data storage is paramount. This rad-tolerant MMU offers a flexible, low power, and cost-effective data storage solution for the harshest environments.
“By bringing together Frontgrade’s extensive subsystem and flash heritage with DSI’s proven mass memory solutions, we will bring to our customers the next generation in high-performance Mass Memory Units needed to ultimately span the entire range of missions from LEO to GEO and beyond,” Meyouhas said. “We look forward to disrupting the MMU market by introducing a low SWAP-C, 2-terabyte product to North America.”
The SpaceStor MMU benefits from a combination of well-established software, firmware, and hardware elements carrying flight heritage into producing a powerful and scalable space-assured, mass memory solution.
Hashem added, “We are thrilled to enter into this agreement with such a well-established partner in the North American market. Together, we bring decades of expertise, combining our rich heritage of state-of-the-art solutions that will be incorporated into Frontgrade’s SpaceStor -- engineered in Germany and made in the USA.”
