Compute hardware: Dedicated AI-OBC for demanding AI/non-AI tasks, separate communication DSPs and a payload-control subsystem for simple processing ATHENE mission design. Prelaunch mission architecture. AI-OBC model/count and installed RAM/storage remain unknown. Do not assume all tasks run on one identical processor. Official project-specific source. Included with these qualifications. Source observation: 2026-10-31. Supporting source ↗ | |
Technical specifications retain the source’s original units and evidence status. Hardware counts, compute rates and power are not equivalent; launched hardware does not establish demonstrated performance. Supplier counts include suppliers and hosts only, reflect current filters and cover this directory, not the entire market. “No record” means no disclosure captured; it does not mean the work is unawarded. Latest developments use source dates, not routine review or collection dates.
