Description
Robotics and human space exploration space missions have brought astonishing accomplishments till date (e.g. 12 humans actually walking on the lunar surface). The ESA roadmaps of technology for the exploration of the Solar System have been designed to set the goal of fostering robotics exploration with the final aim to support human exploration. Within those technology roadmaps, spacecraft avionics techniques and technologies play a special and remarkable role. This talk provides a wide overview of the current technology programs and upcoming activities in the area of avionics, including mission for asteroids (AIM), Phobos (PHOOTPRINT), Mars (sample return and human), Moon (South Pole landing), Jupiter (JUICE), etc. The talk highlights the needs of new performing, agile and low cost avionics systems, as well as the corresponding quick and fast verification, and validation techniques
