Geneva, Switzerland, and Vienna, Austria, June 15, 2023 -- As the global space industry grows, it requires a steady supply of highly reliable “space-grade” chips for an increasing number of programs. TTTech, a technology leader in safe networking and computing platforms, and STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, celebrate 7 years of collaboration in the space sector. TTTech’s advanced, safe, and reliable networking components and platform solutions, based on ST chips, are deployed in key space industry commercial and exploration programs. After the first variant of TTTech’s and ST’s codeveloped chip was selected for the Ariane 6 launcher program, a second variant, tailored for the very harsh constraints of deep space, is being implemented in modules of the Gateway space station, a key part of NASA’s Artemis program.
