ESA Component Activities

 

Introduction

ESA Component Acitivies have three major responsibilites

ESA Component and Manufacturer Qualification: To support ESA and space projects with qualified EEE parts ensuring the overall adequacy and suitability of space processes and EEE components to meet the performance requirements on schedule without additional analysis and at cost and lead time  efficiency.

  • The ESCC QPL ( Qualified Parts List) and ESCC QML ( Qualified Manfacturers List) contains the list of EEE components and  manufacturers qualified to the requirements described by the relevant ESCC specifications.
  • The ESCC PCA ( Process Capability Approval ) Certification : The ESA Process Capability Approval for technology domains supporting customised or application specific components qualification (ESCC 24300)
  • ESCC Specifications : To maintain and improve the efficiency, effectiveness and validity of (new) test methods and relevant standards. For the selections, procurement  and qualification of EEE components

 

EEE Support for ESA Projects: Formulation of EEE requirements, parts selection, project specific EEE qualification, technical managment of NCRs and associated NRBs

EEE Component Engineering: Support to EEE fabrication process development, prototyping, reliability assessment, transfer to volume production, technical management of ESCC evaluation and qualification. Support to in-orbit demonstration.
