Designing space systems with integrated Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) strategies - with Texas Instruments
15 december 2025 · 35 min
Episode 83 of The Space Industry podcast by satsearch is a conversation with Adrian Helwig, Analog Field Application Engineer, and Michael Seidl, Systems Engineer from Texas Instruments (TI), about designing space systems with integrated Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR) strategies. Lees meer
TI is a global electronics manufacturer with a wide portfolio of space-grade components to support space missions across the spectrum.
In the episode, Adrian, Michael and satsearch COO Narayan Prasad Nagendra discuss:
FDIR as a complex, critical sequence in space system design: Since equipment in space cannot be manually repaired, systems must quickly and reliably detect faults, isolate the damaged unit (e.g., by switching it off), and recover mission operations, often by engaging a redundant unit.
Trade-off between reliability, performance, and cost: Engineers face this trade-off particularly when selecting components that must withstand extreme environments (radiation, temperature cycles) and long missions (LEO vs. GEO/Deep Space). Using non-space-grade parts introduces significant risk and defeats the purpose of FDIR.
Effective fault containment based on integrated, smart strategies: Strategies that avoid complexity, using methods like galvanic isolation, fast load switches, and highly-integrated space-grade components that incorporate diagnostics and can execute complex decision-making based on multiple sensor inputs (voltage, current, temperature) prevent fault propagation.

Terma's space business provides mission-critical electronics, software, and services for space applications.
In the episode, Hans and satsearch COO Prasad Nagendra discuss:
1. 💸 Scaling Shift - "Software Over Boxes": Traditional ground stations scale by adding costly physical modem hardware, a CapEx-heavy approach. Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology flips this model, allowing operators to scale capacity instantly by adding compute power instead of new boxes, dramatically improving economic efficiency.
2. 🔄 Dynamic Adaptation and Flexibility: SDR technology empowers operators to dynamically change critical communication parameters, like frequencies or modulation schemes, post-launch via software updates. This capability is vital for optimizing spectrum use, mitigating unexpected interference, and extending a satellite's mission lifetime.
3. 🌐 Enabling Ground Station-as-a-Service (GSaaS): SDR is the key driver enabling ground stations to operate as a shared, virtualized service. This shift minimizes hardware investment and allows operators to move toward efficient, multi-mission models instead of maintaining dedicated, underutilized infrastructure.
4. 📈 Efficient Throughput Management: SDR's scaling flexibility efficiently addresses two extremes: small, specialized missions and high-throughput commercial operations. It allows a single station to support vastly different mission profiles instantly, ensuring maximum asset utilization across the board.
5. 🛡️ Securing the Virtualized Network: The shift to a software-defined network introduces unique cybersecurity challenges compared to traditional hardware setups. Implementing robust best practices, like Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), is essential to securing virtual data flows and pr…

Powering the latest trends of space electronics - with Texas Instruments
13 april 2023 · 42 min
Episode 49 is a conversation with Adrian Helwig, Analog Field Application Engineer, and Michael Seidl, Systems Engineer from Texas Instruments, about the trends in space electronics. Lees meer
Texas Instruments is a global semiconductor manufacturing company with expertise in analog and embedded processing chips. The company was founded in 1930 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas. In this episode, we discuss:
While power is a very precious good in space satellite applications continue to become even more power-hungry in the future:
More intelligence/processing power for telecom and data routing applications
AI for pre-processing on-board on optical and radar imaging payload to reduce data rates even though resolution goes up
Electrically steered antennas replace classic mechanical antenna pointing system, RF to bits (RF sampling)
Small satellites autonomous maneuvering for debris avoidance, etc.
Designers must increase total power capabilities / power density and bring efficiency up. Efficiency is very important as any improvement will bring a double benefit: power that is no longer wasted does not have to be produced anymore. Reduced power losses save efforts in cooling. With higher efficiency, there is also greater power density possible. TI’s products enable such higher power density to also enable savings in the board area.
The high quality of the voltage rails is increasingly challenging to meet: e.g. Only 0.8V core voltages with tens of Amperes but +/-3% tolerance leaves only mV intolerance; Power distribution network requires a high amount of capacitance which adds cost and board area. highly precise instruments and very high-throughput communication systems require super-low noise levels on the supply voltage.
The power tree is fundamentally important for the overall robustness and availability of the satellite. TI provides a high level of radiation hardness (especially against heavy ion impacts which are challenging for power devices) combined with several p…
