Standard Interface Aims To Simplify Spacecraft Repairs And Upgrades
A team of EU-funded researchers has developed a universal satellite connector that could simplify the process of repairing and upgrading satellites in orbit. The connector, known as the Common Passive Interface, is designed to work with different satellite designs and equipment, and has been tested for compatibility with existing European interfaces. The development of this technology could have significant implications for the space industry, potentially reducing the need for costly satellite replacements and enabling the creation of a more sustainable and serviceable space infrastructure.
