Overcoming Challenges in Space Processor Emulation - with Terma

Episode 80 of the Space Industry podcast by satsearch is a conversation with Dr. Mattias Holm, Product Owner at Terma for the TEMU (Terma Emulator), about overcoming the challenges of space processor emulation for increasingly complex payloads and mission operations. Terma's space business provides mission-critical electronics, software, and services for space applications. In the episode, Mattias and satsearch COO Narayan Prasad Nagendra discuss the: critical importance of high-performance processor emulation for space missions , like Terma's TEMU, allowing for comprehensive validation and debugging of on-board computer (OBC) software and minimizing the risk of costly failures once a satellite is in orbit, and the challenges of high-fidelity simulation in accurately emulating complex modern space processors, especially multi-core architectures, to achieve real-time or faster-than-real-time performance, while maintaining instruction-level accuracy for reliable software development and operational training. You can find out more about Terma on their satsearch supplier hub . And if you would like to learn more about the space industry and our work at satsearch, please take a look at our blog .
