Belvyon addresses the critical challenge of enabling advanced computing in the extreme radiation environments of space. Traditional silicon electronics suffer rapid degradation from cosmic radiation, limiting satellite autonomy and requiring heavy shielding that constrains payload mass.

Our SYNAPLEX™ polymer neuromorphic substrate delivers breakthrough radiation tolerance exceeding 500 kGy, enabling AI/ML edge computing for satellites and deep space missions with proven ISS heritage.

Value Proposition

  • >500 kGy radiation tolerance for extreme environments
  • Flexible polymer substrate architecture
  • Proven space heritage (ISS/JAXA-Kibo validated)
  • ITAR-free UK origin for international space programmes
