MA61C EGSE makes the link between your computer and your satellite subsystems. Connect USB to your computer, and SpaceWire, I2C, CAN, UART, MIL-STD-1553 or GPIO to your subsystem. The integrated API and GUI allow easy commanding and monitoring.
MA61C (Multipurpose Adapter Generic Interface Connector) is the first satellite subsystem adapter with plug-and-play functionality that allows connecting any satellite subsystem with the main on board computer without installing any additional software or adapting hardware connectors.
MA61C automatically adapts between the communication interfaces and protocol standards of different suppliers to the unique standard of the onboard software. This simplifies the communication between the onboard software and its subsystems such as AOCS sensors and actuators, communication, power and payload.
MA61C supports subsystems electronic datasheets and space interfaces. The drivers database held internally allow for plug and play functionalities such as device recognition, self configuration and driver installation.
The Electronic Data Sheets held by MA61C enable it to perform plug and play functionalities such as device recognition, self-configuration and driver installation without user intervention.
Applications
MA61C EGSE provides seamless connectivity between your computer and satellite subsystems, simplifying testing, validation, and integration processes. Key applications include:
Subsystem Testing & Validation – Enables direct connection to satellite subsystems via SpaceWire, I2C, CAN, UART, MIL-STD-1553, and GPIO, ensuring efficient performance verification.
Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) for AIT – Streamlines Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) by offering a standardized interface for subsystem evaluation.
Avionics & Payload Interface Testing – Simulates onboard conditions, allowing engineers to verify payload and avionics compatibility before launch.
Plug-and-Play Development & Debugging – Supports real-time device recognition, self-configuration, and driver installation via Electronic Data Sheets (EDS).
Software & Hardware-in-the-Loop (SIL/HIL) Testing – Facilitates simulation and validation of onboard software in a controlled environment.
