Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) – Simulating and supplying satellite power systems

Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE)

As space becomes accesible

Space is driving the evolution of digital technology with the “One Space” initiative, which offers immense potential for numerous players.

Preservation of the Earth, space warfare, the global internet and spatial exploration are all being made possible by this increasingly affordable access to space.

Satellite constellations can cover both civil and defence applications, with strategic autonomy playing an essential role.

Powering, monitoring and simulating satellite subsystems

Large-scale industrial programmes are now taking shape, such as Iris², Europe’s new satellite constellation. In this context, POWER SCOE and the SAPS (Solar Array Power Simulator) represent the next-generation EGSE unit and are valuable technological components.

POWER SCOE and the SAPS provide a range of reliable solutions for powering, monitoring and simulating satellite power subsystems from the assembly, integration and testing (AIT) phases to the launch pad before the rocket takes off. HENSOLDT solutions are modular and suitable for various types of satellite. The SAPS solution also reduces energy consumption, heat dissipation and footprint by a factor of three.
