ΕΡΓΑΣΤΗΡΙΑ
Onboard Data Systems Lab

The laboratory (contact: Associate Professor Nektarios Kranitis )serves educational activities on aerospace digital systems design and research on Onboard Data Systems (payload data processing, onboard data management, microelectronics for digital applications). It develops FPGA accelerators for CCSDS algorithms achieving state-of-the-art, world-leading data-rate performance. It participates in competitive research projects from EU (H2020, EDF), GSRT and HFRI. Also, it participates in ESA institutional missions of (PROBA-3, TRUTHS) and CubeSats (ERMIS, HSD) as part of ESA Greek CubeSats In-Orbit Validation Projects. Once the building infrastructure is finished and appropriate laboratory equipment is procured, is will be able to deliver cutting-edge educational and research services in the development (design, verification, validation) of space-based digital systems, including: 25+ seats with workstations, FPGA boards (Zedboards , KCU105, ZC706), power supplies, digital multimeters, oscilloscopes and function generators, EDA CAD tools (Xilinx, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics), 2GHz Mixed Signal Oscilloscope and logic analyzer, Onboard data systems EGSE Rack (16U) with SpaceFibre, SpaceWire, CAN front-ends, modular PSUs, Terma CCS5& TSC. Hall B001A is under construction under the full supervision of the technical service.
