Since last October, ALTER is involved in the project SIPRES, funded by the European Space Agency, intended to integrate printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies on mechanisms and structures.
The main challenge of this initiative will consist in developing, manufacturing and validating the use of flexible, printed and hybrid electronics on several prototypes that can operate correctly under extreme conditions of temperature, vacuum and radiation as required by space research and exploration missions.
ALTER as expert for procurement and testing of materials and EEE components will lead the test campaign aimed to the characterization of the manufacturer parts.
