POWER INTERFACE CHARACTERISATION BETWEEN THE RUSSIAN SERVICE MODULE AND THE ESA AUTOMATED TRANSFER VEHICLE

摘要

This paper has shown the work performed by ESA to understand the exact nature of the electrical interface of the Russian Service Module. This is presently allowing Industry to design both a stable power interface for ATV and a power emulator for verification purposes, which is adherent to the in-orbit condition. Realistic EMC requirement were also derived at the interface ATV/SM.
