Frontgrade Unveils SpaceStor MMU with 3.97 TB Storage for Critical Space Missions

Frontgrade Technologies, a leading provider of high-reliability electronic solutions for space and national security missions, has launched its operationally resilient SpaceStor Mass Memory Unit (MMU), a high-capacity, solid-state storage solution designed for mission-critical space applications. As the newest addition to Frontgrade’s MAMBA (Modular Applications for Mission processing with a Bifurcated Architecture) offering, the radiation-tolerant SpaceStor delivers up to 3.97 TB of reliable, NAND flash memory in a 3U SpaceVPX form factor, ideal for SWaP-C constrained and data-intensive missions.

Delivering transaction throughput of up to 4Gb per second, SpaceStor’s significant capacity enables real-time, in-flight computing and processing capabilities for space missions that demand reliable, high-speed data access. The new MMU leverages Frontgrade’s space-qualified 4Tb flash along with a robust flash management controller, built on a strong flight heritage FPGA. SpaceStor helps mission designers meet the growing need for robust, modular data storage in spaceborne systems ranging from high-resolution imaging payloads and satellite sensor buffering to AI/ML applications.
