ThunderSync3-C10 is certified and launched to the International Space Station

We proudly share a monumental milestone for our Cambrionix team — our ThunderSync3-C10 hub has received official certification for use aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and has successfully launched into space. This achievement underscores our commitment to the mission of delivering the fastest, most reliable, most intelligent device connectivity solutions on the planet, for the most demanding environments. 

The ThunderSync3-C10 was included as part of the payload aboard NASA's SpaceX Commercial Resupply Mission, launched on Monday, April 21, 2025. This mission marked the 32nd resupply services flight conducted by SpaceX under NASA's commercial resupply contract, delivering essential cargo to the orbiting lab. 

As well as food, supplies and equipment for the crew, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft delivered several new experiments. These included a demonstration of refined manoeuvres for free-floating robots, a next-generation air quality monitoring system to support future missions to the Moon and Mars, and two atomic clocks designed to study principles like relativity and enable global precision timekeeping. 

About the ThunderSync3-C10  

The ThunderSync3-C10 is a state-of-the-art hub that uses Thunderbolt technology to simultaneously provide guaranteed data speeds between 1-4 Gbps and efficient charging for ten devices. Key features include: 

• Ten USB Type-C ports deliver up to 15W of power for rapid charging  
• A Thunderbolt™ 3 interface offering up to 40 Gbps data transfer speeds, ensuring swift and reliable communication with connected devices  
• Compatibility with various operating systems, including macOS, Windows, and Linux, facilitates seamless integration into diverse technological ecosystems  
• Advanced management capabilities through our proprietary Connect software enable users to monitor and control each port individually.

The ThunderSync3-C10’s robust design and advanced functionality make it an ideal solution for mission-critical environments where reliability and performance are paramount. 

Certification and Compliance  

To meet the stringent standards required for operation aboard the ISS, the ThunderSync3-C10 underwent an intensive certification process, including rigorous testing under extreme conditions like high heat and electromagnetic stress. The device demonstrated its ability to reliably deliver both power and data to critical onboard hardware. It also meets globally recognised safety and environmental standards, holding certifications including UL, CE, FCC, and RoHS. 

Looking Ahead  

The deployment of the ThunderSync3-C10 to the space station is a proud moment for the entire Cambrionix team. It marks a step forward in our mission to create the fastest, most reliable, most intelligent device connectivity solutions on the planet. It also brings us closer to the future vision, where our technology touches every mobile device on the planet and now perhaps beyond.
