• The antenna deployment system.• Sensors and ADC for the measurement of the housekeeping parameters of EPS and thetemperatures of the faces.• The protection circuit for the measurement system.The engineering model has the following interfaces:• Main PC104 connector of 4 × 26 pins. The pins attribution was managed by the OBCteam [9].• Five 2-pins connectors for the solar panels (Schottky rectifiers are included on the PCB).• One 4-pins connector for the batteries card.• Two 2- pins connectors for the shunt resistances of the dissipation system.• One 2-pins connector for the thermo-cutter of the antennas deployment system.• Nine 3-pins connectors for the temperatures probes.The card also include tests points and jumpers.• Four jumpers on each DC/DC converter:– between the batteries bus and the (+) input of the input filter,– between the (+) output of the input filter and the (+) input of the converter,– between the (+) output of the converter and the corresponding power bus,– and in the feed-back loop (to open the loop, for tests).• One jumper to short-cut a Schottky rectifier on the output of the 3.3V (for the testswith EPS2).• One jumper between the batteries bus and the connector to the batteries card.• One jumper between the batteries bus and the dissipation system.• One jumper between the 3.3V bus and the protection circuit of measurement system.The engineering model of the batteries card was not concretized yet. The batteries cardwill have to include: the batteries, the PCM’s, the USB charger, and the batteries heater.94

6.3.2 ImplementationThe implementation of the EPS is a complex work.The EPS card holds a lot of circuits and connectors. The density of components per unityof surface will is high. A multi-layer PCB is required. There are very sensible measurementscircuits and noisy DC/DC converters on the same card, which can make the layout morecomplex. The PCB also have to make the heat circulation from the transistor of the dissipationsystem to “cold points” easier.We took the decision to subcontract the realization of the engineering model PCB. Thesubcontractor was Deltatec.DeltatecDeltatec is a small company based in Ans near Liège. The company is specialized in electronics,hardware and software. They have an experience in the production of space-certifiedPCB’s as they were one of the subcontractors of Thales Alenia Space.Documents provided to DeltatecA complete document was written for Deltatec. This document included:1. The complete electrical schematics of the engineering model of the EPS card.2. The complete list a used components, with manufacturer’s reference and the commandcode of a distributor. This list can be found in the Appendix.3. The datasheets of used components.4. A quick presentation of the EPS.5. Mechanical, electrical and thermal specifications for the EPS card (mechanical andthermal specifications were written with the MECH and THER teams.Work done by DeltatecDeltatec had to make the layout of the card. The company had to order the components,subcontract the manufacturing of the PCB and was responsible of the assembly of the componentson the PCB.Final productThe final product of Deltatec was two complete cards (PCB with soldered components andPC104 connector) and tree empty cards (only PCB with layout and PC104 port). No electricaltests were made by Deltatec.95
