Self-healing data controller for orbital edge AI.

A radiation-resilient controller that sits between satellite sensors, storage, AI processors, and downlink — within a sub-payload power envelope.

Challenge

Orbital data fails differently than terrestrial data.

In LEO, reliable data management is bounded by radiation, intermittent connectivity, power, and downlink — not by storage capacity.

01 · RAD Radiation → Silent corruption

Frequent SEUs.

Single- and multi-bit upsets flip stored bits with no warning. Trapped protons and heavy ions hit DDR, eMMC, and FPGA fabric at rates that scale with altitude and inclination.

02 · LINK Intermittent contact → Slow recovery

Multi-orbit gaps.

Ground-dependent fault recovery spans multiple orbits. A corruption detected at T+0 can wait an entire pass before an operator sees it.

03 · PWR Power & thermal → Scarce resources

Tight budget.

Storage recovery cannot consume the host compute envelope. Every watt spent on scrubbing is a watt not available to the payload's AI inference workload.

04 · DL Downlink limit → Manage on-board

Bandwidth-limited.

Downlink is bandwidth-constrained and expensive per bit. Sending corrupted or low-value data to the ground is wasted capacity on a finite, contended channel.

OREN Shield

A controller for the data path that feeds onboard AI.

OREN Shield verifies, repairs, and prioritizes data inside the satellite — before the AI processor ever sees it. Detection, ECC, scrubbing, replication, recovery, and link-aware scheduling, co-located with the data path, on a single radiation-resilient module.
