The requirements for selection, control, procurement and usage of EEE parts for space projects are defined by the ECSS standards according to a defined class for the project. The three different classes are defining a compromise between assurance and risk. Nowadays, we can see new types of projects through the emergence of space constellations in the space industry and the market of cubesats/nanosats. Somehow, we could consider these projects as out ...

The COMET MCE sponsorize the SpacE FPGA Users Workshop (SEFUW)  held at Noordwijk ESA/ESTEC center  the 9 - 11 of april 2018.    

The CNES Microsystems and Electronic Components (MCE) and On-board Energy (EDB) COMETs are organising a workshop on the development of passive magnetic components. Objectives: To bring together key players in the academic and manufacturing fields, Exchange on the technologies currently being studied and undergoing R&D, Share information on the manufacturing techniques of these components, Get an overview of the level of maturity of this type of technology.

COMET OOE, MCE and ENV organized on 27 and 28 SEPTEMBER 2016 at CNES Toulouse a Analog and mixed ASIC workshop for space applications The use of analog and mixed ASICs is often associated with the search for performance in this niche market of space applications. Key functions include the front ends of optoelectronic detectors (but not only), such as: Pre-amplifiers Digital-Analog and Analog-Digital Converters The complete detection chain processing the signal coming from sensors The ...

"The wide gap power components in energy conversion" The objective of this seminar is to present state of play of these wide gap power components  in power conversion  applications, but also to promote "win-win" partnerships. The aim is to bring together component suppliers and users (laboratories, industry, agencies, ...) working in various sectors (automotive, rail, aerospace, space, etc ...).
