Telco EGSE (Power & TMTC SCOE)

Objectives

Telco EGSE TMTC SCOE:

The overall function of the Atos Baseband TM/TC SCOE and TM/TC Crossbar is to provide validated interface hardware and software functions to interface baseband TM and TC hardware with the remaining EGSE infrastructure. This includes high-speed baseband data interfaces to On-Board Computers, COMMS elements such as Transponders and Modulators, Security Units, etc. Further applications of the envisaged functions are EGSE systems on subsystem level, which require baseband TM/TC interfaces and functions based on these, as well as Umbilical Test Systems used at the launch location, prior to connecting the actual spacecraft. 

Telco EGSE Power SCOE:

The Power Special Check-Out Equipment (SCOE) is part of the electrical ground Support Equipment that provides via the current Atos UniverSAS® product the required electrical power, simulates the real spacecraft battery and the solar array behaviour and provides monitoring of some onboard electrical parameters. It is used during all phases of the spacecraft integration and test, i.e. from Avionics Test Bench (ATB) and Service Module (SVM) integration up to the launch campaign. The main objective is to extend the capabilities of the Atos UniverSAS® product to cover also different Telecom satellite requirements through generic firmware and software solutions.
