Product Assurance is a key step in New Space projects where SMALL SATS is one of the protagonists; due to the relatively low maturity of the sector and COTS parts for this type of mission. The Product Assurance Plan is the first step to a successful and well-managed project, and many of the activities that will be developed during the mission will be based on this Product Assurance Plan.

Eutelsat interest in COTS digital components mainly resides in the possibility to drastically increase processing capabilities while maintain SWaP performance at an affordable level for a commercial GEO Satellite mission. Whatever the communication mission, whatever the frequency band and associated coverages, the digital processing will bring important benefits in terms of being able to flexibly allocate the spacecraft resource to respond to evolutions of the market needs. Additionally, more generic payload “building blocks” will permit to lower the procurement time while permitting to decrease industrial cost associated to manufacturing, test, integration on satellite, ranging from one-time programming on ground to full SDR (Software Defined Radio) architectures with full on-board reprogramming!

The most relevant result of this work is that all tested samples passed satisfactory the test without relevant changes in the measured parameters, with the exception of one of the WG-EO switches which had a catastrophic failure, as it will be commented later. The pass/non-pass criteria were defined comparing the results of the electro-optical characterization after each test with the corresponding results for each parameter prior to the tests, taking into account the measurement uncertainty.

New Space projects require “traditional” Space projects equipment-level testing. Typical testing campaigns for any kind of satellite or subsystem include: Vibration, Shock Response Spectrum (SRS), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) / EMI, Thermal vacuum (TVAC), TID, Other more specific tests needed for subsystems may include: Optical tests, Electrostatic Discharges (ESD), Materials tests (mechanical, electrical, cleanliness), Magnetic tests
