GÖTEBORG, Sweden & LIÈGE, Belgium--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 19, 2025--

Frontgrade™ Gaisler Technologies a leading provider of high-reliability electronic solutions for space and national security missions, and DELTATEC, a very high-level design house specialized in advanced technologies are pleased to celebrate their successful collaboration in delivering high-performance computing solutions for space applications, with the GR712RC dual-core microprocessor at the heart of several flight-proven systems.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251119011567/en/

The GR712RC, developed by Frontgrade Gaisler and based on the fault-tolerant LEON3FT architecture, has been integrated into multiple Data Handling System (DHS) units designed by DELTATEC. These include one Payload Data Handling Unit (PDHU) and two On-Board Computers (OBCs) currently operating aboard ESA’s eSAIL mission, launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in September 2020.

Moreover, DELTATEC recently delivered the Flight Model of the Mass Memory Unit for ESA’s Altius mission, demonstrating the versatility of the GR712RC microprocessor in multiple space applications. Other Frontgrade rad-hard components utilized in this platform are the 16Mb MRAM (UT8MR2M8), the 40Mb SRAM (UT8ER1M39M), the 16Mb SRAM (UT8R128K32) and the voltage supervisor (UT01VS50D).

“We are especially proud of how cost-efficient and versatile the GR712RC microprocessor is,” said Sandi Habinc, General Manager at Frontgrade Gaisler.

“Its flexibility allowed DELTATEC to deploy it across a range of computer systems, from payload data handling to mass memory units. This adaptability not only streamlines development but also supports long-term mission reliability and scalability,” adds Eric Callut, Senior Project Manager at DELTATEC.

Frontgrade Gaisler and DELTATEC continue to enable efficient and resilient satellite systems for current and future space missions worldwide, through advanced microprocessor technology and system design.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Trevor Megill struck out Jonny DeLuca with runners on second and third to wiggle out of a ninth-inning jam as the Milwaukee Brewers escaped with a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night.

DeLuca's strikeout came after Tampa Bay's Liam Hicks had grounded into an apparent game-ending double play that was overturned after a video review. Replays determined that Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt's right foot was slightly off the bag when he reached to catch a high throw from second baseman Brice Turang.

“You have a big range of emotions," Milwaukee captain Christian Yelich said. "It’s a big credit to Trev for locking back in right there and making some huge pitches after you have that emotional dump and then have to get back on it.”

Jacob Misiorowski allowed one run and four hits over five innings to earn the victory.

“Not perfect, but good enough to get a win,” he said.

Yelich hit an RBI triple to spark a two-run rally in the first that put the Brewers ahead for good and delighted a sellout crowd reveling in Milwaukee’s first World Series game since 1982. Jackson Chourio and William Contreras each had two hits, including an RBI single. Contreras also threw out two runners trying to steal.

This marks the first World Series featuring two teams seeking their first championship since 1980, when the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Kansas City Royals in six games. The only other major league clubs without a World Series title are the Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners.

The Game 1 winner has gone on to win the World Series 62.8% of the time.

Tampa Bay trailed 3-1 and hadn't put a runner on since the sixth inning until it mounted its comeback attempt in the ninth.

Jonathan Aranda and Chandler Simpson hit consecutive one-out singles off Megill. A double steal involving pinch-runner Jorge Mateo and Simpson put the potential tying run in scoring position with Rays slugger Junior Caminero at the plate. Caminero walked on a 3-2 pitch in the dirt to load the bases.

Hicks hit a grounder to the right side, and Turang ranged well to his left to field the ball before throwing to Pratt to start what initially was ruled a game-ending double play.

Fireworks went off, players poured onto the field and Milwaukee fans roared — before the crowd hushed as it watched the play again on the videoboard.

A replay review determined Pratt’s right foot came off the bag as he caught Turang’s throw. Hicks was still out at first, but the Rays now had runners at second and third with the score 3-2.

“I thought Coop had him, and obviously I was wrong,” Misiorowski said.

Megill finally closed the deal as DeLuca struck out swinging.

“You just have to lock it back in," Yelich said. "It’s the World Series — you have to do what you have to do to make things happen.”

By sweeping the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, the Brewers had time to set up their rotation the way they wanted by handing the Game 1 start to Misiorowski, the hard-throwing NL Cy Young Award favorite.

Misiorowski opened the game by throwing the fastest pitch ever delivered in a World Series, a 103.5 mph ball to Yandy Díaz. The right-hander finished with a season-low three strikeouts.

“Look, he’s so talented. He’s such a special pitcher. I felt like for him to be out of the game at five innings, there’s a small win in that,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “The problem is when you knock him out of the game, you’ve got just an elite bullpen that can match up and come in the ballgame like they did and kept us quiet there.”

While Milwaukee started with its ace, Tampa Bay countered with Nick Martinez to give two-time All-Star pitchers Drew Rasmussen and Freddy Peralta an extra day of rest. Martinez struck out five and allowed two runs over five innings, but a slow start proved costly.

Chourio lined a single to right field on Martinez’s first pitch, and Yelich drove him home with a one-out triple to center. DeLuca covered 85 feet to track down Yelich’s drive but just missed making a diving catch as the ball glanced off his glove.

“I thought Jonny covered a lot of ground right there to even make that play close,” Cash said. “I don’t think we did too many things wrong. They did some things right. Squared some balls up.”

Yelich was batting third in the lineup for the first time since Aug. 3. The three-time All-Star and 2018 NL MVP posted the lowest on-base percentage (.315) and OPS (.692) of his career, but he has stepped up his since being named the first team captain in franchise history the final week of the regular season.

He was the seventh player to triple in his first World Series plate appearance, and the first since Kansas City’s Lynn Jones in 1985, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Contreras knocked home Yelich with a line-drive single to left that was deflected by shortstop Taylor Walls with the infield playing in.

Tampa Bay got a run back in the fourth.

Aranda drew a leadoff walk and advanced to third when Caminero doubled on a one-out liner with a 112.7 mph exit velocity that sailed over center fielder Garrett Mitchell and off his outstretched glove. Aranda came home on Hicks' groundout to the right side.

Milwaukee extended the lead to 3-1 in the seventh. Pratt drew a leadoff walk from Steven Matz and scored from second when Chourio greeted Kevin Kelly with a two-out single.

That insurance run proved critical.

“The guys settled in right away and did a great job," Yelich said. "We still have a ways to go, but it’s nice to get that first one.”
