Ramon.Space

Ramon.Space makes computers that keep working in space: radiation-hardened manycore processors, storage systems, and software-defined radio channelizers, sold as boards and subsystems to satellite builders. The company began in Israel in 2004 as Ramon Chips, founded by the Technion professor Ran Ginosar and named for the astronaut Ilan Ramon, and its RC64 processor line descends from that work. It is now headquartered in the US with an engineering hub near Denver.

Satellites are turning into software machines, updated and repurposed in orbit, and the company is betting that whoever supplies the space-grade computing underneath becomes infrastructure, the way server vendors did on the ground. Its hardware has flown since 2014 across low Earth orbit, geostationary and deep space missions, by its own account.

The visible commercial test is Eutelsat's refresh of the OneWeb constellation, which in 2025 chose Ramon.Space channelizers, an initial seventy flight sets, for satellites launching from the end of 2026. None of that hardware has flown yet. Beyond Eutelsat the customer list is described only in categories, the flight heritage numbers are the company's own, and a firm founded two decades ago is still at startup scale in a market where radiation-tolerant commercial chips keep eating at the premium that pure rad-hard silicon commands.
