SYSGO and Teledyne e2v for the EAGLE-1 Quantum Security Project
Summary
EAGLE-1, a pioneering European satellite mission, marks a significant step in this initiative, aimed at ensuring data security in the face of unprecedented computational power. This sophisticated partitioning technology provides strict data integrity and reliable separation, even in environments where diverse software packages operate simultaneously. By leveraging PikeOS, the satellite’s payload and ground station software achieve the high determinism required for seamless quantum key distribution. Another key advantage of PikeOS is its ability to run efficiently on space-hardened hardware, such as the Teledyne e2v QLS1046-Space microprocessor, a robust platform built to withstand radiation while delivering powerful computation at 30K DMIPS. Together with ELinOS, an embedded Linux distribution also from SYSGO, the EAGLE-1 system benefits from a seamless integration of secure, real-time, and non-real-time software components, enhancing reliability and performance in space and on the ground.
