Partnership on MCU to advance rad-hard computing capabilities
Sidus Space has announced a strategic collaboration with VORAGO Technologies to validate and integrate next-generation radiation-hardened microcontroller (MCU) technology through the VORAGO Alpha Customer Program.
The partnership positions Sidus at the forefront of resilient space and defence systems, enabling it to test and integrate the new high-performance MCU from VORAGO, which is designed for operation in extreme space and defence environments, into future Sidus multi-domain missions. The collaboration supports Sidus in delivering mission-critical offerings, enabling resilient, real-time capabilities across both government and commercial sectors.
Sidus Space has previously utilised VORAGO MCUs but will now play a pivotal role in the early validation and system-level integration of the future high-performance, radiation-hardened MCU that will be announced later this year. This strategic partnership aims to accelerate development and deployment cycles for Sidus’ next-generation platforms while providing VORAGO with real-world performance feedback to refine and optimise the technology.
“At Sidus, we focus on building systems that are not only innovative but ruggedised for the environments in which our customers operate, whether in space or in support of national defence,” said Valerij Ojdanic, Chief Technology Officer at Sidus Space. “Our early collaboration with VORAGO allows us to help shape and qualify next-generation hardware that aligns with our performance standards and integration timelines.”
Through the Alpha Customer Program, Sidus will receive early access to engineering samples, development tools, and dedicated technical support. Together, the two teams will advance the MCU through joint design reviews, software and hardware integration, and in-system validation, aiming to transition to production-ready deployment by 2026.
“By combining our next-generation radiation-hardened microcontroller technology with Sidus’ agile and innovative platforms, we’re accelerating the deployment of resilient electronics that can thrive in the harshest conditions, enabling smarter, faster, and more capable missions,” said Bernd Lienhard, CEO of VORAGO Technologies.
