Abstract :
The space solar telescope (SST) will carry five instruments as the payload on board a satellite, which imposes great challenges on the SST payload EGSE (electrical ground support equipment) development in both the engineering and technical aspects. To meet those challenges, a platform based EGSE development method is proposed. The basic principle is to develop the SST payload EGSE with a modular architecture and on a re-usable software platform. This paper describes the experiences gained during the preliminary design and implementation which was carried out in parallel with the hardware development.
