Company Profile

STAR-Dundee is a leading supplier of spacecraft on-board data-handling technology, offering a comprehensive range of SpaceWire and SpaceFibre IP cores and test and development equipment, widely used by the world’s space industry.

Our engineers were instrumental in the development of SpaceWire, writing the ECSS standard with inputs from international spacecraft engineers. STAR-Dundee offers an extensive range of products to support the design, development and testing of SpaceWire, as well as a range of well tested and widely used IP cores. Our SpaceWire IP is integrated in spaceflight systems monitoring the Earth, exploring our Solar System, studying the universe and supporting commercial space applications.

For over 20 years, STAR-Dundee has led the research and development of SpaceWire and related technologies, with those efforts resulting in the publication of the SpaceFibre ECSS standard. SpaceFibre is the next generation of SpaceWire, offering higher throughput, lower mass and additional capabilities including quality of service and fault detection, isolation and recovery, making it ideal where high performance, high reliability and/or high availability are required. STAR-Dundee has a range of products to support the evaluation, design, testing and deployment of SpaceFibre, while our SpaceFibre IP is either flying or being designed into at least 80 spacecraft.
