Design concept of the electrical ground support equipment for the AIV and calibration of the Euclid NISP instrument
2012
The Near Infrared Spectro-Photometer (NISP) on board the Euclid ESA mission will be developed and tested at various
levels of integration using various test equipment which shall be designed and procured through a collaborative and
coordinated effort.
In this paper we describe the Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) which shall be required to support the
assembly, integration, verification and testing (AIV/AIT) and calibration activities at instrument level before delivery to
ESA, and at satellite level, when the NISP instrument is mounted on the spacecraft.
We present the EGSE conceptual design as defined in order to be compliant with the AIV/AIT and calibration
requirements. The proposed concept is aimed at maximizing the re-use in the EGSE configuration of the Test Equipment
developed for subsystem level activities, as well as, at allowing a smooth transition from instrument level to satellite
level, and, possibly, at Ground Segment level.
This paper mainly reports the technical status at the end of the Definition phase and it is presented on behalf of the
Euclid Consortium.
