Everspin Technologies announced that its 64Mb PERSYST STT-MRAM was chosen by Astro Digital, for an upcoming Raven bus geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) satellite mission.
Astro Digital will use Everspin’s EM064LXAQDG13IS1T 64Mb STT-MRAM as the primary fail-safe memory for the system boot process on its Raven bus. The company explains that in satellite systems, boot memory stores the essential code needed to initialize spacecraft electronics and support system recovery. For this application, persistent MRAM provides non-volatile memory that can retain critical boot information without power and provide fast access during startup or recovery.
Everspin recently reported excellent financial results, reporting a recovery in customer demand. The company also entered into a $40 million defense subcontract agreement with Amentum Services to support the US government's RDT&E program.
Last month we posted an interview with Everspin's VP of sales, discussing AI-driven memory shortages and where MRAM fits.
