cEDM Workshop - Space electronics for the 21st century

Quality and reliability are key elements of space electronics. This workshop will provide insight into the status of space electronics design and manufacturing for ESA spacecraft and into the steps to take to create better electronics for future ESA space missions.

Space agencies such as ESA prefer flight-proven technologies in their spacecraft and require extensive equipment testing and qualification to guarantee reliability. Adhering to flight-proven technologies has drawbacks. A highly performing, reliable solution without adaptation to the technological evolution does not remain performant nor reliable in the 21st century’s technological and operational context. This workshop will provide insight into the status of space electronics design and manufacturing for ESA spacecraft and into the steps to take to create better electronics for future ESA space missions.
