New High-Performance SP1 Quad Core Processor Joins Aitech Family of Space-Rated Single-Board Computers

CHATSWORTH, Calif., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Aitech, a leading provider of rugged embedded systems for use in military, aerospace and space platforms, announced the 3U OpenVPX SP1, a space-rated single-board computer (SBC) engineered for high-performance space missions, including low earth orbit (LEO), geostationary orbit (GEO), lunar and deep space missions. The SP1 is designed to be used in multiple spacecraft and payload systems to improve orbit computation and meet the growing needs for edge processing and analysis and on-board computing. With a wide range of I/Os, a powerful on-board processor, and a high-performance configurable FPGA that enables mission flexibility, the SP1 delivers mission-critical reliability and adaptability essential for space applications.

“The space market is rapidly evolving, and next generation, more powerful SBCs are essential in enabling multi-core high performance supporting increasingly complex missions,” said John White, Space Solutions Director, Aitech. “Aitech’s SP1 is indispensable in the space market by providing efficient and reliable computing solutions for Earth observation, communications, Command and Data Handling (C&DH), robotic applications with vision processing, power distribution and management, and signal processing and analysis, from LEO to lunar and deep space missions.”

The SP1 is designed and built for applications that require extensive data processing and high bandwidth, making it critical for next-generation missions, including:

Autonomous Space Maintenance, Operations and Flights: As part of a digital backbone, the powerful and configurable SP1 supports a variety of autonomous operations, reducing reliance on ground-based decision-making and enabling spacecraft to perform real-time decision-making and maneuvering through integrated AI/ML algorithms.Debris Avoidance and Situational Awareness: With thousands of space debris, big and small, tracking in Earth’s orbit, collisions with all forms of space debris can cause catastrophic damage. Providing enhanced computational capabilities to detect and evade space debris, the SP1’s high-speed processing improves situational awareness, dynamic trajectory predictions, and autonomous collision avoidance to ensure long-term sustainability at all orbit levels.Multiple Payload Hosting and Control: The SP1 leverages OpenVPX and increased I/O bandwidth for future space systems, allowing it to provide flexibility for different sensors, payloads and digital backbone architectures including, Gigabit Ethernet, GPIO, UART Serial, USB 2.0, SpaceWire, SpaceFibre, CANbus, and SPI with an onboard FPGA and PMC connector to provide additional I/Os. The SP1 I/Os can be supplemented with peripheral boards that will provide stepper motor control, power control, high-speed camera interfaces, storage, and digital and analog IO.

Aitech offers the SP1 with electronic reliability to meet orbit and mission needs with different levels of EEE parts from LEO to deep space and every critical mission from unmanned to human safety critical space missions. The SP1’s four 1.8 GHz 64-bit ARM vortex-A72 cores can achieve 44,000 CoreMarks of performance and utilize ECC equipped DDR4 memory to enhance capacity and reduce bandwidth usage by processing data locally and sending only essential information. The SP1 will be fully radiation-tested and characterized to 100 krad (Si) and provide latch-up immunity to 67 MeV-cm2/mg in an ISS orbit.

Technology Highlights:

Radiation characterized to 100 krad (Si) for LEO/GEO and lunar space missionsFour 1.8 GHz 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72 cores of processing powerVariety of I/O provides flexibility for different sensors, payloads and digital backboneMultiple NASA EEE-INST-002 reliability levels available for mission and orbit needs

More about the Aitech SP Family:

The Aitech SP family of SBCs includes the mission-proven SP0-S single-core SBC and the new SP1 quad-core processor SBC, representing the broadest family of computing performance and capabilities designed to meet performance requirements for all space mission needs. The SP1 development boards will be available for delivery in Q4 2025. For more information, please call 888-Aitech-8 (888-248-3248), visit https://bit.ly/3U-OpenVPX-SP1 or e-mail sales@aitechsystems.com.

What to Look for in an Online GLP-1 Provider: Meant Outlines Five Questions Worth Asking Before Signing Up

Published

on

By

MANASSAS, Va., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As more telehealth companies offer GLP-1 care, the options can look alike from the outside, and telling them apart takes more than a glance at a landing page. Meant is sharing five questions consumers can ask when choosing an online GLP-1 provider, along with how it approaches each one.

Five Questions Worth Asking

Who makes the clinical decisions? A trustworthy provider should be clear about which licensed clinicians review each person’s information. At Meant, those decisions are made by licensed providers through its clinical partner, OpenLoop Health.Is there a real evaluation first? Look for a health-history review before anything is prescribed, and for plain language that a prescription is never guaranteed. Meant’s online assessment covers health history, current medications, and goals.Can the company’s credentials be checked? Independent certifications are one signal consumers can verify for themselves. Meant displays the seal for its LegitScript certification on its website.Is it clear who fills prescriptions? Providers should be open about the pharmacies they work with and whether those pharmacies are licensed in the United States.Is ongoing support spelled out, limits included? Good providers explain what follow-up looks like and who handles which questions. Meant pairs care with an optional Care Coach, and medical questions go to the care team.

A certification is a transparency signal, not a government approval or a promise about results, and no checklist replaces a conversation with a licensed clinician. Meant does not diagnose or prescribe, and treatment is not guaranteed for every applicant.

Take a Closer Look

Consumers who want to see how the assessment, clinical oversight, and coaching fit together can visit Meant‘s website and compare the details against the questions above.

About Meant

Meant is a health and wellness technology company focused on personalized GLP-1 weight-care support delivered through telehealth. The platform combines an online clinical assessment, licensed oversight through OpenLoop Health, Care Coach support, and supplemental wellness resources. Meant does not itself diagnose or prescribe; clinical decisions are made by its clinical partners. Learn more at meant.health.

Looking back on the three sessions: The first session kicked off in Hefei. Photographers documented the city’s innovation-driven urban landscape as well as the picturesque scenery and intangible cultural heritage of Chizhou’s ancient villages. The second session took them deep into Huangshan and Anqing. They explored time-honored Huizhou villages, magnificent mountains and Huangmei Opera culture, immersing themselves in Huizhou traditions and the cultural charm of the Yangtze River region in western Anhui. The concluding third session was held in Huangshan and Xuancheng, focusing on brilliant autumn hues, Huizhou‑style ancient architecture, and the traditional craftsmanship behind the Four Treasures of the Study.

From lush summer greens to rich autumn colours, the photographers produced more than 11,000 high‑resolution photographs. Reflecting the unique perspectives of international participants, these images will be disseminated globally in diverse forms. They will help tell compelling stories of Anhui’s cultural tourism and further boost the province’s international profile.
