Current Developments for VEGA-C+

12

Multi-Functional Unit for VEGA-C+ (MFU MKII)

• Design optimization

• Design to cost / Design for Manufacture

• Heritage, taking advantage of Ariane 5 ME’s ESU

development and synergies with Ariane 6’s CMFU

• Modularity: the MFU MKII will have a modular design,

that helps reducing non-recurring effort to tailor the unit

for each mission.

Main Drivers for the development

• Reduction of EEE parts cost extensive use of COTS

parts. Activity started with the ESU.

• Reduction of MAIT costs: automatic manufacturing and

testing.

• Continuous co-engineering with ELV in order to find the

best solutions considering also the integration and

exploitation phases

• Introduction of new functionalities, requested by the

market (Non-Explosive Actuators’ drivers, power lines

for Payloads…)

New Space Concept

Or …how to adapt our legacy products to the new step forward in the Space Industry

reaching the price and reliability targets in a very commercial & competitive scenario.

Four Axis actuations:

Coengineering with the customer: A close Technical Specification is an “old times

dream”, the collaboration in the extended enterprise phase allows a optimization of

the requirements at launcher level.

New EEE and Soldering technology: The validation of RoHS compliant parts

coming from automotive and other COTS markets for launchers reduces drastically

the recurrent price. This validation requires an important investment in parts analysis

and testing as well as the validation of their assemblies.

Automation of the Production Line: Incorporating new processes and

manufacturing technologies like the Automatic Optical Inspection, the 3D Soldering

Paste Inspection, Acrylic Coating and the Automatic Flying Probe for board testing.

Lean Production methodologies: Based in Pulsed Production Line.
