  • Abstract
    TESAT presents the achieved reliability of its TWTAs and MPMs in orbit. Various breakdowns such as SINGLE vs. DUAL units or TWTAs vs. MPMs are presented and discussed. A comparison with the standard reliability analysis based on parts count/stress indicates significantly better reliability in orbit.
