Electrical Ground Support Equipment background - 1

• HUYGENS, CASSINI mission (ESA/NASA). EGSE for the HuygensAtmosphere Structure Instrument on board of probe HUYGENS.Customer Galileo Industries ( now Leonardo).

• Bepi Colombo – Euclid. High-Current Pulse Generatorpyrotechnics Initiator designed as an EGSE for the HRMCEdevices (Holdown Restrain Mechanism Control Electronics) partof the antenna release mechanisms. The EGSE was also used forthe final tests of the Pyro Valves of BEPIColombo in Guyana, andfor the HGA of Euclid. The unit is compliant with ElectroExplosive Devices (EED) type PC23 NASA Standard ModelInitiators (NSI), and NEA (Non-Explosive Actuators). Customer:Thales Alenia Space Italy and Airbus UK.


Electrical Ground Support Equipment background - 2

• SICRAL-2. Design and delivery of a FPGA based signal processor for Payload Emulation at VHF frequencies. System engineered in a half-size rack, based on PXI modules. Among the various modules there are 4 vector phase shifters, two local oscillators, 2 RF downconverters. Unit was capable to emulate a 4 elements phased array antenna for beam-steering simulations. Customer Thales Alenia Space, Italy.

• MetOp. Design of the CDPU (Complex Data Processing Unit) and FEE (Front End Electronics) emulation for the RFA (Radio Frequency Assembly) and OBCT/CA (On-Board Calibration Assembly) assembly EGSE of the MetOp MWI (Microwave Imager). System is composed by 3 elements: two modular boxes for acquisition, command, a supply, and an interface system based on PXIe cards installed in the main rack. Delivery completed with a modular, two-boxes EGSE Test Unit for complete HIL (Hardware In-the Loop) testing. Customer Space Engineering SpA (now Airbus IT)
