Xiphos' signature technology is a series of miniature processing boards called Q-cards. They use logic-software hybrid computation to perform complex processing tasks at a small fraction of the power and weight of conventional processors.

Q-cards are generally used in conjunction with application-specific daughterboards which provide a broad range of interfacing options and application-specific hardware.

Q6: The Q6, new as of 2011, is the latest in the Xiphos line of spaceflight-ready miniature processing boards. It retains the small form factor, low mass and power consumption of its predecessor, but provides a number of attractive new features. >> More

Q5: The business card-sized Q5 was first flown in 2004 and has been operating continuously in orbit since July 2006. It is currently in use in several operational spacecraft. >> More

Q4: The Q4 is certified for manned space flight, and has been used on the International Space Station.
