On-Board Interfaces

A satellite interface consists of various subsystems, such as Power, Communications, Data Handling, Onboard Computer, etc. All these sub-systems use a wide variety of satellite interfaces, both internally (within a sub-system) and externally (between sub-systems). These On-Board Interfaces can differ at many levels, such as physical, electrical and on protocol level. To support (sub-)system manufacturers during development and validation phases, C-STS offers a wide range of front-end products.
