(PRESS RELEASE) EDINBURGH, 30-Jun-2022 — /EuropaWire/ — In June 2022, the H2020 Hi-SIDE project successfully achieved its objective of developing and demonstrating new satellite data chain technology that can capture, process, store and transmit data at speeds exceeding 10 Gbit/s.
With funding from the Horizon 2020, research and innovation program, the Hi-SIDE team designed and manufactured new satellite subsystems including:
The individual components of the data chain were then integrated and demonstrated in a series of scenarios, representing major data processing sequences on-board satellites. This included end to end demonstrations of:
The demonstration proved the capacity of the Hi-SIDE HSDC architecture to process, store and transmit data from instrument to ground at data rates up to 10 Gbit/s. This performance represents a significant improvement compared to current satellite payload technologies.
‘EO is a growing market but sending data from space back to Earth is a big challenge. Hi-SIDE has demonstrated the capacity of the HSDC to work at data rates that have not been achieved before and has the potential to contribute to redefining the way the satellites connect back to Earth’ – Robiel Pino, ERZIA Technologies SL.

ABOUT THE PROJECT:
Hi-SIDE, which stands for High-Speed Integrated Satellite Data Systems For Leading EU IndustrY, started on 1st January 2018 and ran until 30th June 2022.
The Hi-SIDE project was delivered by 11 partners from 6 countries:
To develop the technology that was demonstrated, Hi-SIDE was granted 6.9 M€ from the European Union’s H2020-COMPET-2017 Research and Innovation Action Framework Programme under Grant Agreement no 776151.
