2. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2. 1. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The end system for this activity is a modular integrated harness for modular microsystem-based nano-spacecraft
applications. For the purpose of this activity, the integrated harness system includes the following parts:
Signal and power conduit (grid, routing, etc.),
Harness material matrix,
Structural part (maximal panel dimensions 0.23m x 0.34m),
Harness interface (connection to the harness).
Figure 1: Integrated harness system overview The developed Integrated Harness is composed of:
- One sandwich honeycomb panels, - Three Panel Integrated harness - Three flexible PCB equipped with three Nano-D connectors for equipment connection, (Flex Panel to Equipment), - Two Micro-D connectors to allow connection with the other panel (Flex Panel to Panel).
Moreover, two kinds of flex are developed to connect devices on the harness, one flex to interconnect the three harness parts altogether (Flex quantity = 2), and another flex to connect devices on the harness (Flex quantity = 3).

2. 2. INTEGRATED HARNESS STUDY SYNTHESIS
This paragraph provides a summary of the project. All the documents previously written, as DR4, DR5, DR6 & DR7 are used as the basis of this synthesis.
2. 2. 1. Mechanical
For mechanical aspects, two equipment are checked: - The sandwich honeycomb panel, - The Rivekle.
The dimensions of the sandwich honeycomb panel and its components as well as the Rivekle dimensions are well designed. Shear tests for Rivekle were successful. When maximum load was reached, no breakdown appeared. For a future Integrated Harness, the same components can be used, it will fit with the needs for a multifunctionnal structural panel. Note : In the frame of the study only one honeycomb panel have been manufactured. In case of Nano sattelite development three identical panel should integrate harnesses, that means three panels should be manufactured.
2. 2. 2. Electrical
The Integrated Harness was declined in two versions for this study: - Basic Integrated Harness (BIH), - Enhanced Integrated Harness (EIH).
The BIH was used to validate the electrical characteristics. Several measurements were performed:
- Continuity test, - Isolation test, - Ground DC impedance test, - Line parameters – characteristic impedance of SpW lines, - Capacitance of I²C data bus, - Coupling measurement.
The tests results show that the values measured for each characteristic are closed to the theory. Electrical design (geometry of the lines, width of the tracks…) were well designed. Some thermal tests were also carried out to validate the physical assembly of the BIH face to cycling temperature. After seven cycling, there was no change for the harness, electrical characteristics were the same. Mechanical was also performed. Tensile and compression tests have been done. For tensile tests, there was no rupture of the flex until the maximum load was reached. The compression tests were more difficult to perform, because of the flex technology itself. There were no conclusive results for this case. The EIH is an evolution of the BIH. It was decided to modify the existing BIH by adding a resistor to transform it in EIH. This resistor allows connecting the concerned NanoD connector to the SpaceWire bus. Using the EIH is was demonstrated that point to point communication between two devices is electrically possible. The next paragraph presents the functionally findings for the Integrated Harness.
2. 2. 3. Functional
At the same time as electrical tests, some functional tests on SpW and I²C protocols were done. The test results are available in DR5. Tests run for one hour each, and no errors were faced. The throughput of I²C increased to 400 kHz with success.

The SpW was tested with a throughput between 10MHz & 100MHz, with success. It can be concluded that the Integrated Harness is well designed to transmit data between two devices with correct throughput, defined according to the norms.
2. 2. 4. Work Package and delivery
The project lifecycle was divided in five Work Packages. At the end of each package, several documents and hardware were delivered. Documents were written by both ASTRIUM and NEXEYA SYSTEMS, depending of the phases of the project. The table below presents the set of document deliveries and their status.

2. 3. EVOLUTION FOR A FUTURE INTEGRATED HARNESS
For a future study, some areas of improvement can be developed:
- Switching devices dynamically, with a configuration by I²C protocol. However, some problems can be met as line impedance (on SpW) on the Integrated Harness, or capacitance on the lines due to the multiplexor component.
- Change the protocol of SpW communication, using for example M-LVDS. This protocol is perfectly designed for multi equipment communication, using differential signals.
- If keeping the same design, use the RS422 protocol for the SpW, - Change the location of the Integrated Harness on the Honeycomb panel. It can be located on the side of
the panel, in order to win space for devices. - Instead of two NanoD rows connectors, only one row of connectors can be soldered and adds space for
multiplexor component.
There are several areas of modification, and the next Integrated Harness could be a mix of theses, in order to find the best ratio between functionality, ROM Cost and manufacturing time. This kind of harness is compliant with functional needs of the Nano-satellite. In effect, this harness provides functionality and electric characteristics required, with a high facility of mechanical integration. Its light weight is an advantage too. This technology can be used without any problems on bigger telecommunication satellite, which interconnects more equipment. The ease of manufacturing are in lines with the constraint of time and cost for satellite constellation.
2. 4. ROM COST FOR INTEGRATED HARNESS DEVELOPMENT
For the current design of Integrated Harness, this paragraph presents the development ROM Cost. For this case, the hypothesis is that all the harness components are already manufactured (referenced as product), considering them as COTS. The initial need to manufacture an assembly equal to the existing one (with three equipped panel) is:
- Three Sandwich Honeycomb Panels, with their respective Enhanced Integrated Harness, - Two Flex Panel To Panel, - Three Flex Panel To Equipment, for each Enhanced Integrated Harness panel.
For all these assemblies, the ROM Cost presented here after takes in account:
- The materials, - The hours for development, manufacturing, assembly and validation, - The hours for project management.
The following paragraph presents the ROM Cost (Excluding VAT) detailed for each parts of the Integrated Harness. Duration of the studies depends of the modifications and evolutions asked. For this ROM Cost, the duration of the study is thirty days. This is the minimum time needed to integrate the multiplexor component on the design of the Integrated Harness.

2. 5. DEVELOPMENT PLAN
According to the previous ROM Cost and to NEXEYA SYSTEMS feedback on this project, development plans have been prepared. It includes optional studies to change the design of the Integrated Harness. With the hypothesis of all the EIH components are already bought or manufactured, the necessary time to assembly a complete Integrated Harness is almost one month. For a serial production, this time can be reduced.

3. GLOBAL FINDINGS
This study demonstrates that the current definition of the Integrated Harness can be used without any constraints. Mechanical tests show that the definition of Rivekle and the sandwich honeycomb panel are correct. Electrical tests demonstrate the good design of the complete PCB (Panel integrated harness, Flex Panel to Panel and Flex Panel to Equipment). The measured characteristics were equal or very close to the hypothesis. Functional tests confirmed that the maximum rates of each signal (I²C, Spacewire) can work during a long time without any errors. However, an evolution could be imagined in order to dynamically switch devices, with a configuration by I²C. Without changing the design, a new protocol can be used, as RS 422, or, if needed, a new design could be studied, and in this case, the M-LVDS protocol would be the best solution. With all this data, a ROM cost and a development plan have been prepared to provide the reader with price quotations and a manufacturing schedule for the production of a complete Integrated Harness. The price and schedule take into account of the possibility to introduce some modifications on the current harness.
