We are currently researching multifunctional interconnects* for orbital applications as part of EU funded Project SPACE USB and would like to include industrial expertise in our work.

Information from all existing multifunctional interconnects can help us to find and recommend good standards that can be applied in the EU.  For this reason, we would like to ask you to give us some information about your multifunctional interface in detail. To keep it all in a standard format, we will create a list.

We would be happy if you fill in this list with information and send it back to us by May 31, 2024.

You can download this list on the Zenodo platform.(https://zenodo.org/records/11073215).

Upon request, we plan to share our overview and analysis evaluations as a result with participants.

The results will be published in a scientific paper.

If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time.
