Abstract

The project will provide 3 (three) Interfaces at Qualification Model level, and Flight Model level for the scientific instruments, APEX, ELISA, and IONEX. Which will be embedded into a scientific microsatellite for data collection and ionosphere in loco data during is operation life time. The main steps for the project are described below; Collection and analysis of requirement needs that attends the proposed challenge; Elaboration of electrical sceme for the Interfaces and lists of components; Elaboration of documentation and assemblage of printed circuit boards; Assembly, tests, adjusts, and calibration of the Interfaces. Integration of the printed circuit boards with the mechanical box; Qualification of the Interfaces Modules into INPE Laboratory facilities; Fabrication of the second qualification/flight model with the components provided by INPE.
