Design of Electric Interconnecting Cables and Connectors for Space Power Systems

Abstract

The successful development of a reliable electrical interconnection system for space vehicles is a difficult and challenging assignment, requiring ingenuity and engineering know-how. The design team approach, involving all factors of interconnection design, draws upon the combined experience and knowledge of those intimately aware of the requirements of their specific activity. This approach to interconnection design has already proven itself through a number of successful space missions. Tomorrow's space transportation will require further concentrated efforts in this field.
