on-board data processing solutions
from sensor to ground
Our Expertise
FPGA
FPGA are ideal for space. Flexible, fast, deterministic and compact. We can deliver from a single function IP to a whole system with an embedded processor, following standards like ECSS-Q-ST-60-02C.
Electronics
Analog, digital and RF circuit design with the specific characteristics of space systems in mind. PCB design, manufacture and assembly complying with current space standards (ECSS-E-ST-20C, ECSS-Q-ST-70-12C, IPC 6012, etc.)
Software
Robust software developed according to best practices in the aerospace industry and compliant to existing standards (ECSS-E-ST-40C, etc)
Projects
Blue Marble speciality is FPGA development. Programmable logic is ideal for space applications. Interfaces are created as needed, processing is deterministic, high data rates can be achieved, modules (IP) are independent of each other and integrate seamlessly with software. Redundancy and other FDIR mechanisms are also easily implemented with FPGA designs.
The result is compact, efficient and capable systems with low SWaP (Size, Weight and Power), highly desirable in space. What is more, industrial grade FPGA chips are fairly radiation tolerant and proper rad-tol grades are also available. FPGA IPs are highly modular and in many cases a drop-in sub-system.

About Us
Passion for electronics
With a background education in electronics engineering, I can say I am happy of enjoying a career focused on innovative, exciting and varied projects. With them, I've gathered almost three decades of highly valuable experience in electronics design, hardware layout, FPGA development, embedded software and project management.
Some five years ago I entered the Space industry with its unique technical challenges that immediately attracted myself for the amount of innovation and ingenuity it uses. Starting in 2022 I want to expand my activities to share my experience with a larger number of projects and companies.
