The need to obtain better performance in telecom and RF applications requires the use of novel PCB surface finishes, such as NiPdAu (e.g. ENEPIG). Currently the European space community has limited knowledge and understanding of the manufacturing and reliability issues associated with these surface finishes.

The proposed activity aims at consolidating and extending the work performed within the previous GSTP activity G617-206SW - Applicability of Mutation Testing method for Flight Software. This activity concerned the investigation of mutation analysis as a method to evaluate the quality of software test suites and mutation testing as a method to derive new software test cases.

Solar cell development for space up to now is mainly driven by increasing the power/mass and power/area ratio. Therefore, the main objective in solar cell development is to increase the efficiency of the cell. For those type of products, customers are prepared to accept also higher costs as long as the ?/Watt measure do not increase.

The technology for the mounting of optical components has become more challenging in the past years due to the more stringent requirements for positioning accuracy and long-term stability. In addition, requirements on cleanliness limit standard mounting techniques used on commercial optics based on adhesives. Space missions that are becoming more and more demanding tend to use larger refractive elements, such as lenses and gratings. Furthermore, the materials used in the UV or infrared wavelength spectrum have poor mechanical properties, and are susceptible to plastic deformation.

The SpaceLiner Main Engine (SLME) designed by SoftInWay Switzerland and DLR-SART funded by GSTP with European Space Agency (ESA) is a 200t class staged combustion engine designed for reusable heavy launch applications. The SLME-NIOPP features an Integrated Oxygen Power Pack (NIOPP) in-line with the Main Combustion Chamber. The SLME-NIOPP architecture is unique for Europe and offers significant advantages for Thrust to Weight Ratios. The relatively low combustion chambers and turbine inlet temperatures result in a cheaper and more accessible engine.
