03 Platform

Put the subsystem on the bench before it flies.

The Electronic Ground Support Equipment makes the link between your computer and your satellite subsystems. USB on one side, the spacecraft bus on the other, and an intuitive GUI in between.

MA61C EGSE adapter

MA61C EGSE

Plug and play, on the bench.

Connect USB to your computer and the subsystem bus to the adapter. The electronic data sheets held by MA61C drive device recognition, self-configuration and driver installation without user intervention.

  • Command and monitorThe integrated API and GUI give you both, without writing software.
  • Any common busSpaceWire, I²C, CAN, UART, MIL-STD-1553 or GPIO.
  • Same silicon as flightThe bench behaves like the unit on the spacecraft.

MA61C cPCI

Also available

MA61C cPCI for the test rack.

The same intelligent plug-and-play behaviour, packaged for a cPCI serial space processing unit. SPiN is one of the first companies to build a commercial product for cPCI serial space — the backplane chosen by ESA and the European Commission for upcoming Copernicus missions.

Next step

Test earlier. Integrate once.

We ship EGSE with the adapter, the API and the GUI. Tell us which subsystems you need on the bench and we will put together the configuration.
