Space Electronics

On-board processing for payloads on large missions?
Flexible, yet reliable processing? Implemented in software or hardware (FPGA) or both?
CubeSat on-board processing? Low power, low volume, flexible/modular in order to have one platform that serves a range of CubeSats or a range of payloads?
Small sat on-board processing, with a mix of high reliability and COTS? Good mix of product assurance / ECSS standards and time to market?
Niche processing, like space qualified FFT processing, space qualified DSP processing, specific applications?
