Salt Lake City buzzed with discovery earlier this month as space pioneers from around the world gathered for this year's Small Sat Conference. Among them were WOLF's own Austin Lindquist, Director of Innovation, who brought WOLF's perspective to one of the most influential events in galactic technology.
WOLF Advanced Technology partnered with Troxel Aerospace to demonstrate their joint edge AI solution for space applications. The demo showcased how Troxel's Single Event Upset Mitigation Middleware (SMM) runs seamlessly on WOLF's rugged NVIDIA Jetson-based 3U VPX modules, enabling powerful, fault-tolerant computing at the edge. The demo demonstrated reliable computation, even in the face of challenges such as radiation
This collaboration highlights a critical breakthrough — paving the way for reliable, high-performance edge compute in the harsh realities of space.

Regarding the success of the demo, Austin Lindquist, Director of Innovation shared: “This demo showcases how high-performance embedded compute, when paired with radiation fault mitigation strategies, can meet the extreme demands of space mission. It's a major step forward in building resilient, next-generation computing for orbit and beyond, paving the way for advanced edge AI and complex computation capabilities in mission critical situations.”
Ian Troxel, President and CEO of Troxel Aerospace, had this say about the demo: “In order to achieve our goal of enabling future mission capabilities, Troxel Aerospace and WOLF have shown what's possible through this collaboration. The collaboration showcased not only cutting-edge innovation, but also the power of partnership in taking bold ideas from launchpad to orbit. This capability demo shows that tomorrow's technology is available today.”
Beyond the demo, WOLF engaged with the broader aerospace community, attending enterprise track talks on new technologies shaping the future of small satellite missions, exploring innovative research through poster presentations, and connecting with industry peers and potential collaborators.
The successful demonstration with Troxel Aerospace reinforces WOLF's commitment to expanding into the space industry, bringing decades of expertise in rugged, mission-ready technology to a new frontier. Together with partners like Troxel Aerospace, WOLF is defining the future of resilient space computing. WOLF is excited to continue advancing technologies that will shape missions on Earth and beyond.
