Episode 79 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 the strengths of adopting standardized architectures for space missions.

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:

• Standardized architectures in space missions that enable modular, interoperable system designs across suppliers, helping to reduce R&D costs, support component re-use, and foster a diverse supplier ecosystem.
• Harsher environmental and longevity challenges faced by space missions compared to automotive applications, which share principles like system modularity and cost-efficient R&D; however space applications require dedicated components, long-term support, and reliability over decades.
• Space-grade products offered by TI in two qualification levels — SEP and SP — to meet varied mission requirements, with benefits like pin-compatible options, broad portfolio coverage, and flight heritage from previously proven components.
