Space verification facilities development
The electronic lab extensively supports the vacuum tests and the optical metrology by automating the vacuum test facilities, robotizing the optical metrology benches and designing and manufacturing stimulus Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) for optical scientific payload.
W
e carry out electronics and software involving techniques such as:
- Electrical cabinet design and manufacturing
- Cable assembly design and manufacturing
- PLC programming
- Local and remote Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) under Windows or Linux
- Exotic protocols with the equipment or with the customers
- Thermal regulation
- Data acquisition, logging, analysis and reporting
- Actuation of mechanisms and valves
- Fine positioning and compensation of optical elements and lasers
- Control of digital cameras
- Analog front-end electronics design and manufacturing
