THALES ALENIA SPACE France

Abstract:                   

This document will detail the TAS’s approach on COTS solutions.

The COTS solutions proposed by Thales Alenia Space are obtained from the following matters :

  • high heritage on Hirel and COTS components use
  • a depth and focused analysis of major COTS manufacturers
  • a very good knowledge of normative systems (ESA, NASA, AECQ, JEDEC,…)
  • an improved design using products with very high electrical performances compared to HiRel products
  • an internal risk mitigation system

As a result, Thales Alenia Space developed, for COTS use in space applications. a disruptive approach with well-defined requirements/rules. This  approach takes into account different technical aspects such as radiations, material&processes, reliability, …
