Founded in 2014, IDEAS-TEK specializes in designing and manufacturing trailblazing scientific instruments and high-performance computing systems for space applications. The company’s systems solutions use industry standards such as VPX and VNX/VNX+, enabling the creation of heterogeneous, scalable system architectures. IDEAS-TEK tailors each solution to meet the specific reliability, performance, and cost requirements of individual missions, from Class A to Class D. With thousands of operational hours across various constellations and missions, IDEAS-TEK's systems have a proven track record of success. The company operates out of a state-of-the-art 12,000-square-foot facility, which includes a space hardware manufacturing laboratory and is on track to achieve ISO9001 and AS9100(D) certification by the end of 2024. IDEAS-TEK is playing an integral role in advancing our nation’s space capabilities as part of the New Space era.
“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. VORAGO’s 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.”
– Alonzo Vera, CEO, IDEAS-TEK
The Europa-IITM Radiation Tolerant Machine Learning Accelerator VNX+ Module integrates the VORAGO VA7230 chipset with radiation tolerant supporting and supervisory circuits in a small VNX+ form-factor. The module has been designed and optimized by IDEAS-TEK to offer high performance computing for a wide range of space applications.
Europa-II offers standard interfaces for communication including Ethernet, PCIe, SATA, I2C, and UART. This module is ideal for Machine Learning, High performance computing, and Command and Data Handling applications
