Payload simulator platform

SATELLITE PLATFORM SIMULATOR and PAYLOAD SIMULATOR Fields of Application Used for International cooperative missions between National Agencies : CNES, ESA, NASA, ISRO, CNSA Main Benefits Power bus and TM/TC interfaces simulation Automatic test sequence TM/TC storage and monitoring Main Caracteristics The satellite platform simulator is used to simulate the platform interfaces signals to perform functional checking tests and ground qualifications tests of satellite equipment and payload instruments. The simulator carries out the power supply and the management of TM/TC exchanges The payload simulator is used to simulate Payload interfaces and TM/TC exchange behavior. The simulator performs the power consumption simulation and the TM data generation following the OBSW mode diagram of the Payload instrument simulated. The test bench is composed of: 19” rack with 220 V 50/60 Hz power supply rack with emergency stop Power supplies and dynamics loads TM/TC frontends PC with test bench software Operating Modes The operating modes are accessed through the PC computer. Automatic mode: Automatic test sequences edition and execution Telemetries and telecommands monitoring and display TM/TC Data storage Configuration mode Configuration of automatic mode Remote mode Ethernet Remote control Manual mode Independent access to all the hardware resources of the test bench Technical Data : Stimuli & Measurement Power bus 100V, 50V, 10A Avionic bus: 1553, CAN, Spacewire, LVDS Relay command HLC, HPC, LLC Digital I/O Analog signal, DAC, ADC Dynamic load Thermistor, Heater
