Imagine a robust space outpost power system. Requirements definition, power bus isolation, and fault mode detection were meticulously designed for future space programs.
ALTEN Technology provided comprehensive support for multiple space outpost programs, focusing on Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) projects. This involved establishing a multidisciplinary team of systems, electrical, and algorithm and controls engineers to define and refine requirements for critical subsystems such as the electrical power subsystem (EPS), command and data handling subsystem (C&DH), and the payload service module. The team also developed robust power bus isolation and grounding architectures, incorporating advanced fault mode detection, isolation, and recovery mechanisms. Furthermore, ALTEN Technology conducted detailed trade studies for various design options related to power bus switching, distribution, and payload power transmission, presenting key considerations and providing recommendations for the best path forward, leveraging tools like MATLAB, Simulink, C#, Python, and Jama.
