Description
The Near Infrared Spectro-Photometer (NISP) on board the Euclid ESA
mission will be developed and tested at various levels of integration
using various test equipment which shall be designed and procured
through a collaborative and coordinated effort. In this paper we
describe the Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) which shall be
required to support the assembly, integration, verification and testing
(AIV/AIT) and calibration activities at instrument level before delivery
to ESA, and at satellite level, when the NISP instrument is mounted on
the spacecraft. We present the EGSE conceptual design as defined in
order to be compliant with the AIV/AIT and calibration requirements. The
proposed concept is aimed at maximizing the re-use in the EGSE
configuration of the Test Equipment developed for subsystem level
activities, as well as, at allowing a smooth transition from instrument
level to satellite level, and, possibly, at Ground Segment level. This
paper mainly reports the technical status at the end of the Definition
phase and it is presented on behalf of the Euclid Consortium.
