The objective of this activity is to design, develop and qualify (EQM level) a Modular RTU.

The SAVOIR/SAG identified the modular RTU as a high priority building block. This is one of the key avionics building blocks as the provided functionality is required by the majority of ESA missions.

An EQM has been developed and validated. FR in June/July 2017. EQM Test completed!. The EQM will be used as EM of the Proba3 IEU and it has been used to qualify the design of the IEU of Proba3. EQM campaign concluded and the unit is to be delivered to Proba3.

Benefits: The RTU is generally applicable to all spacecraft avionics systems. CRS has developed a modular design of a RTU/RIU in a reduced form factor wrt their current products.
