As already published in diverse papers, University of Stuttgart, Germany, is running a small satellite development programme. The first satellite under development (Phase C) is a 3-axis stabilized LEO satellite with a box size of 60 cm x 70 cm x 80 cm, deployable solar panels, ACS including star trackers, wheels and GPS and a mass of 120kg. Launch is envisaged 2013 on an ISRO PSLV launcher. The design is conceptualized to be suitable not only for this specific mission, but to serve as Future Lowcost Platform for diverse science smallsat missions. This paper presents the latest onboard computer technologies selected and defined for the spacecraft covering both the main OBC (CDMU) as well as the payload data processing unit (PMC). The key point is that although being a university project it has been achieved to implement onboard hardware and software design to be fully compliant to international space standards like CCSDS and PUS. The corresponding author is system engineering coach for the project from industry.
