先進的宇宙システムコンソーシアムでのインタフェース標準の検討

摘要

Lower cost and shorter lead time of space component is one of the key factors to revitalizing space industry. Interface conditions and requirements for these components vary from one spacecraft to another, due to different launcher and/or spacecraft, therefore engineers tend to spend substantial amount of time for interface coordination. At the same time, some of the interface requirements are "space unique", which act as a barrier, preventing non-space industries from entering the space market. This paper describes the activity led by USEF consortium, regarding discussions of unified interface standard as solution to the above issues.
