Description	Operate an innovative redundant GPU processing platform powering the ‘Major Tom’ project. The mission is designed to test and validate new electronics such as GPU’s and sensors for future commercial space missions. In our first space project approach we have been taking care of image acquisition, interface conversion and video pipeline. That included integration of FPGA gateware with Linux driver and GStreamer video pipeline. All of that was bound by the control software package. Curium One will be launched on Ariane 6 pilot launch – Astris kick stage. “Embevity is a strong and reliable partner for our Curium satellite mission, launching in 2023 mission on the Ariane 6 maiden flight. They develop key elements for our GPU powered 360°, high-definition camera solution and provide great engineering input to make this mission even better. We appreciate their support and expertise and are delighted to work with them also on future space projects.”
