About Us
Spacechips designs and builds a range of advanced, L to Ku-band, ultra high-throughput on-board processors and transponders for telecommunication, Earth-Observation, internet and M2M/IoT satellites. Our products make payloads 60% smaller, 50% lighter, 50% less power consuming and 40% less expensive, and we offer qualified space-grade, ITAR/EAR-free, COTS-based and ground-segment solutions. The company's inventions won High-Reliability Product of 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Spacechips also offers the global space industry space-electronics design-consultancy, technical-marketing, training and business-intelligence services. The company has delivered over 120 orders to 70 customers in 23 countries.
Spacechips was founded in September 2014 by our CEO, Dr. Rajan Bedi, winning technical-marketing and business-intelligence contracts on its first day of trading. Dr. Bedi was awarded Great British Disruptive Entrepreneur of 2020 and was shortlisted for Global Entrepreneur of 2023.
Prior to founding Spacechips, Rajan headed Mixed-Signal Space Electronics at Airbus Defence & Space in the UK for twelve years, leading and contributing to many major satellite programs. Rajan is the author of, Out-of-this-World Design, the award-winning blog on Space Electronics hosted by EDN.
In 2016, the company’s first invention won High-Reliability Product of the Year and in 2017, Spacechips won New Company of the Year as well as High-Reliability Product of the Year. Today, we have customers in 23 countries!

Using Satellite Technology to Feed a Growing, Hungry World
Global population is predicted to increase to almost ten billion people by 2050 requiring food production to increase by 70%. At the same time, the amount of land available to grow crops is declining rapidly. Learn how satellite technology is enabling smart agriculture.
BRAVE, New, ITAR/EAR-Free Space-Grade FPGAs
Many satellite and spacecraft OEMs around the world are looking for ITAR/EAR-free, rad-hard, ultra deep-submicron FPGAs. Discover how, BRAVE, a new family of European rad-hard FPGAs, addresses this market need.
Magnetising the Next Generation of High-Throughput Satellites
Satellite manufacturers are designing and making proprietary isolated DC-DCs and switching point-of-loads. Learn how magnetics, power transformers and inductors, are fundamental to the design of these voltage regulators.
Make vs. Buy
With so much emphasis on low cost, many spacecraft manufacturers are making their own voltage regulators using space-grade or COTS-based discrete components. Discover how to make your own low-cost DC-DCs for your next satellite.

Introducing RFSoC
Integrating GSPS ADCs and DACs with Xilinx's programmable MPSoC fabric reduces physical footprint and chip-to-chip latency, completely eliminating the external digital interfaces between the mixed-signal convertors and the FPGA. RFSoC will enable the next generation of ground-segment electronics.
