ENPULSION THRUSTER SIMULATOR SUITE

The ENPULSION Thruster Simulator Suite consists of hardware and software products that offer satellite manufacturers and satellite operators testing capabilities for ENPULSION thrusters and satellite hardware, including thermal and load simulation, error injection and telemetry replay – across all program phases from initial concepts and design phases to technology development, operation all the way to end of mission.

ENPULSION Thermal & Structural Mathematical Models

The ENPULSION Thermal & Structural Mathematical Models offer software simulations of the thermal and structural properties of ENPULSION thrusters to include in spacecraft concepts and initial design phases.

ENPULSION Thruster Simulator

The ENPULSION Thruster Simulator is a simulation software that can be operated on a computer independently from any testing- and/or satellite hardware. It offers the perfect environment for mission and AOCS analysis (TM/TC), up to 1000-times faster than real time. It contains a highly representative simulation for the ENPULSION propulsion products.

  • easy and fast to start and update
  • up to 1000-times faster than real time
  • easy way for customer support, “looking at the same screen” together
  • can be used independently from any testing- and/or satellite hardware or in conjunction with the ENPULSION Thruster Emulator
  • offers the perfect environment for mission and AOCS analysis (TM/TC)
  • available for the full range of ENPULSION NANO, MICRO and NEO* product families.

ENPULSION Thruster Emulator

The ENPULSION Thruster Emulator is a standalone hardware which is functionally representative of a thruster without the exposure to and safety constraints of high voltage. It features realistic thruster operation and feedback, e.g. thruster subsection control, thrust and temperature readings supporting the integration with the onboard computer and power supply – without the need for an expensive and complex setup. The model-based simulation is representative of a full ENPULSION thruster with a fixed emitter configuration. Optionally the following features can be ordered.

COMMUNICATION
The communication (TC/TM) is fully compliant in terms of hardware, protocol format and data contents.
AVIONICS TESTING
The intended use is in a flat sat or avionics test bench for hardware and software testing in a closed-loop.

ENPULSION Emulator Add-Ons

ENPULSION THERMAL ADD-ON

a fully representative thermal load behaviour.

ENPULSION LOAD ADD-ON

a fully representative electric or load behavior.

ENPULSION Structural Model

The ENPULSION Structural Model consists of a structurally representative model of your ENPULSION thruster eg. used for vibration testing.

ENPULSION Error Injection and TM Replay System

The ENPULSION Error Injection and TM Replay System offers satellite manufacturers and satellite operators a wide range of testing capabilities, that go far beyond simply “running a thruster”. Commaded by a control PC to dry-run FDIR concepts the ENPULSION Error Injection and TM Replay System lets you test your whole satellite setup for every possible error scenario. To investigate recorded failure cases in open-loop configuration, upload your telemetry data recorded during on-orbit operation of your spacecraft directly into your ENPULSION Error Injection and TM Replay System to re-run and deep-dive into the investigation on a detail-level never possible before.
