Vorago in edge computing deals for space
Vorago Technologies in the US has expanded partnerships with deals with Infineon and Avalanche Technology on rad hard non-volatile memory for edge computing for space.
Vorago will use the Avalanche MRAM magnetic memory boot and AI multi-processing designs with rad-hard and rad-tolerant microcontrollers and microprocessors. This will allow customers to access highly optimized processing solutions to support critical space and defence applications.
“The Aerospace & Defense industry has unwavering need for scalable platform solutions that meet a challenging balance of optimized reliability, SWaP and commercial viability,” said Paul Chopelas, General Manager at Avalanche Technology. “Working with key ecosystem partners like VORAGO to provide idealized boot solutions for their lineup of processors, we help realize the community’s Goldilocks requirements.”
In 2025, Infineon Technologies and Vorago will offer designs based on the Infineon radiation hardened NOR flash coupled with next generation Vorago MCUs.
“Microcontrollers are gaining fast acceptance in space applications due to their flexibility, small footprint, radiation performance and lower power consumption for secondary functions where a full-size FPGA would be exaggerated. We are pleased to support integrated as well as embedded QML certified boot solutions for VORAGO’s microcontrollers,” said Helmut Puchner, VP Fellow Aerospace and Defense at Infineon Technologies.

There are also deals for cubesats with Novi and IDEAS-TEK.
Novi is using the Vorago ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers in its 100 and 200 series on-board computers as well as offering custom hardware and software engineering services.
“We are dedicated to providing onboard computing solutions that combine high performance, cost efficiency, and radiation tolerance, driving the continued growth and capability of small spacecraft in LEO and beyond. Vorago’s M4 processor is crucial in helping us achieve these objectives,” said Michael Bartholomeusz, CEO of Novi.
IDEAS-TEK is developing cost, size and power optimized VNX+ computing platforms based on the Vorago VA7230 microprocessor for edge computing and ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers for radiation hardened system monitoring and system control.
“IDEAS-TEK has developed a family of small form factor computing platforms aligned with the VNX/VNX+ standards, offering a range of performance and reliability options. The VA7230 microprocessor and ARM Cortex-M4 microcontrollers are ideal additions to enhance our current offerings. We look forward to a successful partnership and to delivering these cutting-edge systems with the quality and reliability that define IDEAS-TEK,” said Alonzo Vera, CEO.
“By expanding our partner ecosystem with these industry-leading companies, VORAGO Technologies is reinforcing its commitment to providing innovative, radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant solutions for the most demanding environments,” said Ken Obuszewski, Vice President of Business Development and Product at Vorago Technologies. “These strategic partnerships will enhance our technology offerings and help our customers accelerate product development and innovation, increasing resilience and value.”
