An overview of ROCSAT-1 electrical ground support equipment design

This paper presents the NSPO ROCSAT-1 Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) design which contains the system requirement development, element descriptions, design technology, trade studies, design verification and future plan. During the constructional phases of a satellite, support equipment and services will be required to enable test activities to be performed. EGSE is then designed to provide the capabilities for testing and monitoring performance of the satellite. Ethernet interface. Integrated Satellite Automated Test System (ISATS) software, VXI/GPIB, and RTworks/VxWorks technology are used to design the ROCSAT-1 EGSE. Several trade studies were performed in support of the detailed design. Each test set had been checked and tested separately to ensure that it met its functional and performance requirements.
