Overcoming Challenges in Space Processor Emulation - with Terma
Update: 2025-10-01
Description
Episode 80 of the Space Industry podcast by satsearch is a conversation with Dr. Mattias Holm, Product owner TEMU (Terma Emulator) from Terma, about the benefits of standardized architectures for space missions.
Terma's space business provides mission-critical electronics, software, and services for space applications..
In the episode, Mattias and Narayan discuss:
- Processor Emulation is Critical for Space Mission Success: The episode explores how high-performance processor emulators, like Terma's TEMU, are essential tools for space missions. They allow for the comprehensive validation and debugging of on-board computer (OBC) software, minimizing the risk of costly failures once a satellite is in orbit.
- Challenges of High-Fidelity Simulation: A central topic is overcoming the difficulties in accurately emulating complex modern space processors, especially multi-core architectures. Emulators must be highly optimized to achieve real-time or faster-than-real-time performance while maintaining instruction-level accuracy for reliable software development and operational training.
