Test automation exchange framework
Large aerospace projects require the collaboration from many partners, which often use their own development tools and frameworks. The validation of such projects relies heavily on test automation to increase the quality and reduce the costs. Unfortunately, the automated tests developed by each partner typically only address their specific activity and rely on specific tool. Over the past few years, several frameworks to support the automated testing and validation of the different parts of a space project have been produced and deployed.

Improved multi-junction solar cells with up to 33% efficiency at end of life
Establishment of technology non-dependence in the area of solar cell technology has been one of the key successes of the TRP programme in recent years. The current situation is that the marketplace remains extremely competitive. The main concern is that the unless European technology keeps up with competition, especially from US solar cell manufacturers, then European products will not be competitive and technology independence will be lost. Continuity of development remains critical in order to maintain this position.

De-risk assessment: LESSON - LargE Scale Struts prOductioN

The production process of full-CFRP struts, was before only suitable for low volume production rates (~10 struts/month) and including worker safety critical processes. This approach had to be reviewed and changed to enable production rates >100/month and improve worker safety. The activity focused on the:

MoBaTe – Enabling Model-Based Testing and Automated Test Case Generation for Ground Segment Data Systems

The driver behind the MoBaTe activity was to propose ways to improve the current software development and validation lifecycle using MBSE techniques to shift some of the system validation activities to the early stages of development. The roadmap to achieve this included identifying strategies, required model properties, modelling tools and languages needed to move from a requirements-based approach to a model-based approach. All this considering existing and established workflows and tools currently used by ESA.

Development of a Compliant Mechanism Based on Additive Manufacturing
Compliant mechanisms (e.g. flexural joints) are applied where the relative motion of parts can be accomplished without using traditional bearings. Slender structures can be properly arranged to provide functions like accurate guiding, speed reduction, or change of motion direction. Compared to traditional mechanisms using bearings, significant improvements are expected. These include a decrease of part count number, frictionless motion transmission, which decreases losses, higher motion ranges, enhanced stiffness, and improved accuracy due to the avoidance of backlash.

De-risk assessment: Ceramic Packages for Magneto-resistive Sensors

A GSTP De-Risk Framework with RUAG Space Germany designed and demonstrated a novel, compact and robust sensor head for angular sensors for space mechanisms, using modern and advanced materials and manufacturing methods.

The final performance tests provided evidence in terms of high precision manufacturability of ceramic packages.

The robust design was found to be suitable for the harsh space environment

Novel thermal energy storage and electricity generation for Moon exploration

One of the most critical points in the exploration of space beyond Earth orbit is the provision of systems which ensure the survival of both crew and technological assets, such as rovers an landers. The utilisation of the Moon, being the next logical step in implementing the global strategy for colonising the Solar System, is a focus of national and international space agencies.
