Space Electronics Development
Example of electronics, programmable and complex systems development that is done at the facility:
Standard digital circuits and single-chip microcontrollers (C51 family, Microchip etc.)
digital circuits with signal processors
FPGA and CPLD design using VHDL, behavioral simulation of the design, testing
a multi-layer PCB design
electronic circuits for the PCI bus, including control software development
analogue circuits design, behavioral simulation using the PSPICE-compatible simulator
breadboarding and measurements
ground support equipment development and programming (JAVA, C++, Python, …)
various supporting analyses (WCA, FMECA, FTA, PSA, radiation, thermal, finite element, …)
system engineering concepts design
The design is in all projects submitted to verification using mechanical and thermal analyses based on finite elements method. Parameters are verified to allow safe operation in the space conditions, according to temperature range in the satellite in space, vibrations during the launch phase, radiation, etc.. Testing procedures for thermal vacuum, mechanical vibrations tests, etc. are performed as standard.
The design of the parts and/or entire mechanical systems is realized using CAD/CAM systems with electronic data formats exchange. Mechanical manufacture is outsourced in facilities, qualified and certified in the field of aeronautics and space production.
