	SC-11 spacecraft avionics box

Spacecraft avionics at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has an unprecedented performance record, having flown on over 50 missions without a single on-orbit failure. SwRI provides single string as well as complete redundant avionics systems to enable clients to achieve on-orbit success for even the most challenging missions.

Avionics from SwRI combine high TRL, flight-proven designs with a deep engineering design staff capable of quickly deploying new technology to meet unique mission requirements.

Space Missions Using SwRI Spacecraft Avionics

Our SC-9, SC-10, and SC-11 spacecraft computers have flown on missions such as:

• IMAGE

• SWIFT

• Deep Impact

• Orbital Express

• Kepler

Our SC-11 avionics systems are currently awaiting launch on the NASA WISE mission as well as another U.S. Government space program.
