Optimizing VITA 66 modules for space applications requires addressing key challenges such as radiation resistance, thermal management, and ensuring high-reliability connectors. VITA 66 standards provide robust solutions for high-speed optical connections, crucial for space missions. Single-mode fibers are preferred for their superior radiation tolerance, while advanced thermal management techniques are essential to handle extreme temperature variations. High-reliability connectors, like MT ferrules and ARINC 801 termini, ensure consistent performance under the mechanical stresses of space. Future advancements will focus on increasing connector density and enhancing the performance of hybrid RF/optical modules, catering to the growing demand for high-bandwidth and reliable communication systems in space.

In the ever-evolving landscape of aerospace and military embedded systems, staying ahead means embracing the latest standards and technologies. Open.Tech by Amphenol is proud to present our new SpaceVPX Modules, designed to meet the rigorous demands of space applications while ensuring seamless integration with existing VPX systems.
