advisory board
The expected impact of the project will be achieved by involving external Space stakeholders directly into the project various activities (including specification and demonstration) through a dedicated Advisory Board. Through their attendance of 2 planned Workshops, they will contribute to deliver highly scientific and business-relevant tools to support the targeted industrial groups.
· A first workshop will be held to debate around the definition of the specification of a universal and serial connector (USB-like) able to mechanically connect two space elements and to provide data and power transfer between them when assembled on orbit.
· A second workshop will be held to debate around the definition of the adaptability of the existing SIs to the new proposed standards. The demonstration plan of the proposed technology will be also discussed.
An advisory board composed of 6 members from research and industry with multiple field of applications has been consolidated for the project:
