Why do space control centers use industrial computers instead of commercial computers?

2025-03-14 13:48:50

At 4:27 am on October 30th, Beijing time, the Shenzhou 19 manned spacecraft was ignited and launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. Have you ever wondered why all the equipment in the space control center uses industrial computers instead of commercial computers? This article discusses it.

1. Special requirements of the space control system for computers:

In order to ensure the success of these missions, the space control center has put forward a number of special requirements for computer systems. First, industrial computers need to have extremely high reliability and be able to operate continuously and stably in complex and high-risk mission environments. Secondly, they need to be resistant to high temperatures and vibration electromagnetic interference factors to adapt to the launch center and orbital missions. In addition, industrial computers also need extremely high performance and need to process data quickly to ensure that information can be effectively fed back.

2. The limitations of commercial computers:

First, the durability and stability of commercial computers are not as good as industrial computers. If the commercial computer overheats due to the system in terms of environmental structure design and material guarantee, the processing speed will be reduced or even cause failures. Commercial computers lack anti-seismic protection design, and hardware is prone to loosening under strong vibration and impact.
Secondly, commercial computers are weak in security and data protection. The accuracy of real-time data in the space control center is particularly important, and commercial computers are Those without such functions will not perform well in dealing with data loss and transmission errors.
Finally, due to the lack of customization of commercial computers, the mission and operating environment of the aerospace control center are very unique, and the interface functions and compatibility of the computer are very high, which usually requires a high degree of customization.

3. Why industrial computers are more suitable for aerospace control:

The aerospace control center must enable computer software to operate in extreme environments for a long time. Industrial computers have high reliability, durability and security. They are very different from commercial computers. Industrial computers have the ability to withstand high temperatures, vibrations and interference signals to meet the high-demand mission environment and ensure that key data and instructions can be transmitted safely.

4. SINSMART Technology has a special solution for the aerospace control center industry:

SINSMART Technology has launched a 4U rackmount computer—SIN-610L-WW480MA machine—for the aerospace control center. As a solution, the product has high performance, good security, and rich ports. It supports disk array technology, ensuring data security, making it an ideal solution for aerospace workers.

For industries requiring reliable computing, SINSMART also provides the Advantech industrial PC for enhanced efficiency and performance. Additionally, companies can explore various options, including the compact 1U rackmount PC, versatile 2U rack mount computer, and high-performance industrial rackmount PC to meet different business needs.

For those looking for a scalable and durable solution, the industrial rack mount PC provides flexibility across various applications.
