Description
Savoir SAFI working group studies the possibility of standardising functional interfaces for AOCS H/W. One of the main outputs of Savoir SAFI phase 1 has been a functional interface standardisation proposal for Star-Trackers.This standardisation proposal was elaborated between ESA and CNES agencies together with main European Spacecraft manufacturers (Astrium,ThalesAleniaSpace, OHB). Following SAFI phase 1 a support activity has been approved with the aim consolidate this standardisation proposal. Bringing European Star Trackers suppliers and Spacecraft manufacturers to agree on a standard for Star Tracker functional interface (only STR vs. OBSW communication).This functional interface standard will eventually be part of the Star Tracker ECSS standard as a NON-mandatory annex.
The presentation will illustrate the current status of SAFI support activity.
